Glazer family insist they won’t sell up

THE Glazer family have slapped a ‘Not for Sale’ notice on Manchester United.

In what seems to have been a co-ordinated attempt to head off a much-anticipated bid from the Red Knights group, a strongly worded attack from chief executive David Gill has been followed up by confirmation, included in a financial statement released yesterday, that the Glazers remain committed to Old Trafford.

The Glazers’ willingness to deal with the Red Knights at a figure exceeding £1 billion (€1.1bn) has been assumed by the group aiming to take control.
