Manchester United fans may be in for an anxious wait before learning whether Malcolm Glazer intends to launch a takeover bid for the Old Trafford club.

Manchester United today issued a terse response to protesters who disrupted last night’s reserve team match in Altrincham.

MANCHESTER UNITED fans have threatened to launch a ‘civil war’ against the club in the battle to stave off a threatened takeover by American businessman Malcolm Glazer.
