The Glazers put United up for sale last November but are yet to announce a preferred bidder, with rumours suggesting they may decide against selling the club. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe are the two leading candidates. United fans are desperate for the Glazers to sell up. The Americans are deeply unpopular at Old Trafford, with the team's most recent Premier League title coming a decade ago. The Red Devils have also won just one Carabao Cup in the last six years. United have struggled on the pitch since Ferguson's retirement in 2013, but the Glaswegian rarely shares his opinion of the club. Former Sky Sports presenter Keys, who now works for beIN Sports, believes it's time for Ferguson to "get off the fence". In his blog, Keys wants Ferguson to tell fans "what he thinks is best for the club going forward". Keys added: "He's got to go public on the takeover now. Here's my question Sir Alex - should the Glazers sell or retain ownership of the club? It's not difficult." The presenter believes Ferguson's opinion "will resonate" with fans because he's "the greatest manager of all time". Keys continued: "They know he was happy enough working for the Glazers when he was manager, but what about now that he's just a fan?" He insists "the stand off can't be allowed to go on" and has called the last year a "waste of time for United". Keys noted: "So many other clubs have left United in the blocks when it comes to growth. Even Brighton are running rings round them in the transfer market." Do you agree with Richard Keys? Let us know in the comments below! Keys added: "Fergie can help. If he believes Utd are in good hands - say it. If not - tell the Glazers it's time to go){kind=link}
