Glazer says Man Utd sale process is ‘proceeding’

Manchester United co-owner Avram Glazer says the club are “going forward with the process” of exploring a potential takeover at Old Trafford.

The Glazers, who have owned United since 2005, announced last month they were open to selling the club as they planned to “explore strategic alternatives”.

There has been increasing pressure on the Glazers in recent years, with fans regularly protesting and demonstrating their frustrations with the running of the club, while Erik ten Hag welcomed the possibility of fresh investment at Old Trafford.

Avram Glazer was at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday, where France beat Morocco 2-0 to advance to the World Cup final.

When asked for an update on the sale of United outside the stadium, the 62-year-old told The Athletic: “It’s not necessarily a sale, it’s a process, and we’re going forward with the process, so we’ll see what happens.

“That’s the update, it’s the process and the process is proceeding.”
