Manchester United share price takes a hit
As per the report by the Financial Times Red Devils are only worth around £1.3 billion. The report states that the club is not worth the £5 billion that the Glazers are looking for. The bidders for Manchester United have reportedly so far not offered enough money to tempt the Glazers to sell.
“If the Glazers were to sell then the two bidders that we know about, Sheikh Jassim from Qatar and Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS company would have to increase their bids. This has all led to a sense that the Glazers will not sell Manchester United.”
Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol said “If the Glazers were to sell then the two bidders that we know about, Sheikh Jassim from Qatar and Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS company, would have to increase their bids. This has all led to a sense that the Glazers will not sell Manchester United.”
Solhekol further added, “What’s happened is that the traders, the people who own shares, the value of them shares has gone down today because there is a feeling that the Glazers might not sell. And if they are not going to sell, Man United is not worth £6bn, £7bn and it could be worth closer to what the Financial Times is saying, which is £1.3bn. That is why the share price has gone down today” .
According to another report, the Raine Group who are handling the bidding process are expected to reach out to bidders of United in the coming days. The move comes exactly two weeks after the deadline passed for interested parties to submit their offers.
