Fans' group carries the battle to Glazer

Shareholders United (SU) still aims to scupper Malcolm Glazer’s ambitious business plan for Manchester United after the American tycoon reached the verge of complete ownership of the club.

Glazer’s investment vehicle Red Football revealed yesterday he now owned 97.3% of the issued share capital in United as he presses ahead with his plan to de-list the club from the London stock exchange on June 22.
