United end Glazer 'takeover' talks

Manchester United have set themselves on a collision course with Malcolm Glazer after telling the American business tycoon they will not entertain his takeover proposals for the club.

To the delight of supporters’ groups, who have campaigned vigorously against Glazer since he made his preliminary approach on October 4, United confirmed to the Stock Exchange this morning they had broken off talks with the man who now owns 28.11% of the club.
