Glazer camp contacts United big-hitters Magnier and JP

A REPRESENTATIVE of prospective Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer last night made official contact with the club’s major shareholders, just as Red Devils fans were stepping up their fight to block any takeover plan.

Representatives of John Magnier and JP McManus, who through their Cubic Expression holding company own 29.3% of the club, have spent the week rejecting suggestions there had been any contact between themselves and Glazer, who is widely believed to be behind the ‘preliminary approach’ the Old Trafford club.

However, it is understood the situation changed last night when an official from the Glazer camp made an ‘unsolicited call’ to representatives of Cubic Expression, to bring to them up to date with their present position.
