The Glazers, American owners of Manchester United, could reportedly delay the sale of the club until the end of the season, following the on-field success of Erik ten Hag. It appears that United’s recent success, which includes reaching the Carabao Cup final and being in the race for a top-four finish, has definitely increased the value of the club, as per reports from ESPN.
Due to Erik ten Hag’s impact, the Glazers may hold out for a $10 billion sale price, rather than accepting offers they were willing to listen to in November. The value of the club could skyrocket if Ten Hag leads the team to a long period of success.
Manchester United could still fetch a world-record price close to £6bn as a sports franchise, but if Ten Hag keeps the team competitive and the Old Trafford stadium undergoes redevelopment or rebuild, the Glazers may be able to sell it for £8bn.
The Mirror reports that the Glazers may leave behind the £500 million debt they have accumulated at Old Trafford since their 2005 takeover. During this time, they have taken out around £1.6 billion in dividends, management charges, debt repayments, and share sales.
This news may be a final cruel twist of pain for United fans, who have long opposed the Glazers’ ownership of the club.
