According to writer Ben Jacobs of GIVEMESPORT, “important news” from Old Trafford may have brought Manchester United one step closer to a takeover.
Last November, the Glazer family made the announcement that they were “commending a process to evaluate strategic alternatives,” which might include leaving the Red Devils.
The most recent takeover news about Man United
Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani may decide to invest in a Premier League rival if his attempt to complete a takeover at Manchester United fails, according to BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone on the Stretford Paddock.
In the event that the Sheikh Jassim-led Nine Two Foundation, who submitted a final proposal last month, gets passed over by the Glazers, the reputable writer has suggested Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United as possible destinations.
Given that it has been suggested that Sir Jim Ratcliffe would look into the potential of purchasing La Liga powerhouse Barcelona, the two men appear to be in comparable situations.
However, it is said that the Ineos millionaire has continued his pursuit of purchasing Manchester United and has visited with the Glazer family for talks.
The form of Ratcliffe’s bid, nevertheless, has drawn criticism from Old Trafford’s minority owners because he is prepared to keep Joel and Avram Glazer on the company’s board.
Reliable reporter Jacobs recently told GIVEMESPORT that the transfer budget handed to Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag will not be impacted if a takeover is completed before the summer window slams shut.
What has Ben Jacobs said regarding a takeover of Man United?
Jacobs is aware that Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe are putting a lot of effort into negotiating with the Glazers in order to keep their hold on the keys to Old Trafford.
The journalist is aware that both sides are positioning themselves so that, should the existing Manchester United hierarchy approve the takeover, they can accomplish it quickly.
The most important takeover news, at least in terms of what has been made public, according to Jacobs, is that both parties are working behind the scenes to get to the point where they’re prepared to sign, should the Glazers decide to move forward.
What lies next for Man Utd?
Anthony Elanga has been placed on the transfer market, and according to BBC Sport, Manchester United is willing to sell him for as cheap as £15 million.
According to the report, Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Bundesliga teams are all interested in the winger, who was only able to play 702 minutes last season.
Harry Maguire has also been given a £50 million price tag, so Elanga might not be the only high-profile player to leave before a purchase of Manchester United is finalized.
After falling down the hierarchy under ten Hag, the center defender had offers from West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur, but a transfer to London has not materialized.
Following negotiations between the Tricky Trees and Manchester United, Dean Henderson is about to become a permanent member of Nottingham Forest.
