The Glazer family has owned the club since 2005. Manchester United fans have, by and large, not enjoyed their time as owners. The Glazer family’s purchase of the club led to it being sunk into debt. There have been various protests against the owners as recently as this summer.
Last May, a Premier League game between Manchester United and Chelsea had to be called off after fans stormed the club’s stadium, Old Trafford.
Needless to say, Man U fans are very happy at the possibility of a sale of the club. The soccer world reacted to the shocking news on an already big day for the club.
Quite the evening. https://t.co/HpthmjEwhk

Liverpool and Manchester United potentially up for sale at the same time. Unbelievable.

If Manchester United announce the club to be up for sale or seeking investment, it will then be a key battle for fans to ensure a state does not succeed in buying the club.

The Glazer family are now open to the idea of a full-blown auction and sale of Manchester United.
Thank you Cristiano Ronaldo. What an influence. 👍🏽#GlazersOut #MUFC

The Ronaldo fan boys think his interview with Piers Morgan has led to American businessmen putting up Manchester United for sale.
There is naivety and then there’s this. Watch them bring up tales of how “it is no coincidence” next.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaves by mutual consent and the Glazers are considering a sale?
If Carlsberg did Manchester United news… #mufc
