Glazer forces sale of final United shares

MALCOLM GLAZER will today confirm he has passed the threshold for forcing the compulsory purchase of all Manchester United shares.

The American business tycoon had given investors until 3pm yesterday to offer to sell their stake in the Old Trafford club.

Although Glazer will not formally confirm the exact shareholding until early this morning, it is believed he has acquired the 0.3% he needed to purchase the remainder of the club.
