Glazer raises the stakes in battle for United

MALCOLM GLAZER has increased his stake in Manchester United to 27.63%.

The move comes just as fans demanded chief executive David Gill deliver a ‘put up or shut up’ ultimatum to American billionaire.

After splashing out £45million late on Friday to take his stake in the Old Trafford outfit to 25.3%, Glazer spent another £17million yesterday afternoon to seal another six million shares.
