Bank deny Glazer talks

Deutsche Bank have denied entering talks with Malcolm Glazer over funding a possible takeover bid for Manchester United.

After learning that his previous bankers JP Morgan had resigned in protest at Glazer’s decision to oust three members of the United board at the club’s annual general meeting on Friday, it had been reported the American businessman had opened discussions with Deutsche Bank.

However, those claims have been rejected this afternoon, appearing to block a further avenue to Glazer’s controversial effort to buy the Old Trafford outfit.

“Deutsche Bank is not in any talks with Malcolm Glazer,” said a spokesman for the company in the briefest of statements.
