Manchester United’s share price has plummetted again as concerns over the Glazer family making a U-turn on plans to sell up grow. The club’s share price has now fallen by around $1.2billion in just over a week after reports claiming initial offers were well below the Glazers’ hefty valuation.
According to the Financial Times, United’s current owners weren’t happy with the indicative offers they received before the Friday 17 soft deadline.
INEOS, helmed by lifelong United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani, also a supporter, confirmed they had launched bids earlier this month.
Meanwhile, other parties have submitted offers for minority investment, which would see the Glazers maintain control at Old Trafford.
That is likely the route the family will go down if they don’t receive an offer matching their reported £6bn asking price.
After the unsuccessful first wave of bids, the price sunk by more than 12 per cent on Monday, prompting United’s market value to descend to a three-month low at just over $20 a share.
