Is the prolonged sale of Manchester United seen as a revenge act by the Glazer family against a group of fans who despise them?
The extension of the sale of Manchester United can be interpreted as a retaliatory action by the Glazer family towards a group of fans who harbor animosity towards them. It is perceived that their primary focus is solely on generating more profit from the club based in Manchester.
As the summer transfer window enters its third week, Manchester City has already announced their first signing, Mateo Kovacic, for £25 million, and they are also closing in on a successful acquisition of Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig. Additionally, they have made a £90 million bid for Declan Rice from West Ham.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has welcomed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton for £35 million. Chelsea has introduced new signing Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig for £52 million, and Tottenham has announced the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli for £17 million.
On the other hand, at Manchester United, it's all just rumors. From once being an attractive destination for stars, MU has now become a club that other teams exploit to raise the prices of their players and loan out their stars to increase their own value.
Even Manchester United's transfer policy seems to be in a state of chaos. Signing a quality forward was supposed to be their clear priority at the start of the summer. However, their first move was aimed at... a midfielder.
MU made three offers for Mason Mount, but all of them were rejected. This disappointment led the Red Devils to turn their attention to other targets as they couldn't meet Chelsea's asking price.
The Glazer family is still delaying the sale of Manchester United, which is causing difficulties for the club in the process of player transfers.
Manchester United is currently targeting Moises Caicedo, a different type of player at a different price range. They are also keeping an eye on goalkeeper Andre Onana. But where will the money come from for a quality forward with a total budget of only around £100 million? Nobody knows.
Manchester United has set prices for several players in the clearance list. There have been rumors that West Ham would acquire Rice for £40 million plus some of those players. However, not many believe that this can become a reality.
If Manchester United had owners who were seriously focused on overseeing the management of their club, like the owners of Manchester City and Liverpool, then Erik ten Hag might have a new team ready for training on July 9th. But at this moment, there are no signs of that happening.
The Red Devils are being controlled by the ultimate "speculators" of football, the Glazer family. They are only interested in finding ways to profit as much as possible from the club, rather than keeping up with a highly competitive and strategic sporting environment.
Almost everyone can see that Old Trafford is old, outdated, and in dire need of renovation. MU fans will surely be envious when they look at the modern stadiums of Arsenal and Tottenham.
The laziness and half-heartedness of the Glazer family are "killing" Manchester United. They are trying to exploit the club to the fullest and looking to sell Manchester United for as much money as possible.
MU fans had hoped for a bright future when the club would be handed over to Sheik Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani or Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The £5-6 billion price tag would make the club the most valuable in the world.
However, all the Glazers have done is leave the club in limbo. Everything is uncertain, exactly when clarity is needed the most for MU.
The latest financial results published by the club on Tuesday showed that debts have almost doubled, reaching £203.7 million in just one year.
The US-based commercial website Benzinga has released a report suggesting that Sheik Jassim is leading Ratcliffe in the race to buy Manchester United, but no official announcement has been made. Manchester United fans still have to continue waiting.
Many doubt that the sale of MU will be completed before the start of the season. It all seems like the Glazers' final act of retaliation against a group of fans who despise them immensely.
