Glazer ready to turn heat up on Gill

Malcolm Glazer is ready to turn the heat on David Gill if his £800m (€1.2bn) Old Trafford takeover plans fail to earn the backing of Manchester United’s beleagured board.

Within the next 24 hours, the American businessman will present another set of proposals to United’s financial advisers, outlining his funding plans for a bid that is sure to attract the overwhelming disapproval of a vast majority of United supporters.
