Glazer scores 15.4 million shares in United

MALCOLM GLAZER sidestepped the Cubic Expression stumbling block to sweep up another 15.4million shares in Manchester United this evening and leave Red Devils fans anxiously awaiting the American’s next move.

Glazer’s retail therapy came at a cost of £45million (€65million) and gave the investor more than a quarter stake in the club.

The move came 24 hours after the Press Association revealed his plans for an outright takeover had collapsed as Manchester United’s majority shareholders John Magnier and JP McManus had opted not to continue discussions of the sale of their 28.9% stake in the Old Trafford outfit.
