Glazer makes fresh bid for United

THE battle for Manchester United took another twist yesterday when it emerged that US tycoon Malcolm Glazer had made a fresh approach.

The billionaire has approached the football club with “detailed proposals” he hopes will lead to a formal bid being accepted.

It is believed Mr Glazer’s new offer will contain substantially less debt than his last one, making it more attractive to investors. The latest move is expected to value United at around £800 million (€1.17 billion).
