Glazers to sell another 8%

Manchester United's owners have put up another 9.5m shares, with a value of $186.86m (£137.12m), for sale.

United notified the New York Stock Exchange of the sale on Tuesday evening, in the names of club directors Kevin Glazer and Edward Glazer.

The statement makes it clear the club "will not receive any proceeds from the sale".

The sale represents 8% of the family's total combined ownership, although they will still hold a combined 69% of the shares in United and sources say they remain committed to the club.

It is almost certain the shares will be sold at a price lower than the Stock Market value due to the sheer number being sold.

Also, these will be non-voting shares like all the others sold previously.

Now this is very, very interesting. Let me pull some strings within my network. The tide could be turning, albeit slowly.

Usually not a good sign selling shares, especially within the market at the moment. Don't doubt there will be many clubs struggling cash wise though after the pandemic.

The club aren't getting any of the money.

If the Glazers' conciliatory noises in the aftermath of the Super League debacle were sincere, and not a cynical and dishonest ploy to pacify fans until passions died down, then these shares will be made available exclusively through the supporters' trust. I'm sure we all have a sense how it will play out.
