Manchester United Takeover: Glazers to reduce asking price
The bidding amount for the Manchester United purchase is yet to be decided by bidders. However, reports state that Glazers are ready to settle for a lesser price. As per the report Glazer family has tasked their financial advisors to find someone who would purchase the club for a sum in the region of £ 6-7 billion. The latest buyer will need £2 billion to renovate Old Trafford and Carrington.
The Mail has reported that one of the brothers is privately insisting offers could be much lower. However, some members of the family are said to be willing to accept a £5bn bid. Currently, Jim Ratcliff and Qatari owners are reportedly favorites in the race to buy the club.

For the Qatari bidders, the money for the United bid reportedly comes from an individual fund. UEFA are not expected to stand in the way of any Qatari bid as long as they are satisfied that United and PSG will have separate management and distinct corporate structures
Jim Ratcliffe meanwhile has hired Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan to advise him during the takeover process. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan would be willing to back a takeover bid with bonds and loans. The two banks will cover the value of United’s existing debt. Supporters will be hoping that new owners can come in and invest in the team, the stadium, and the facilities.
