Gary Neville addresses Man Utd fears over Glazers staying amid offer of financial backing

Manchester United icon Gary Neville has revealed that the “priority” for the Red Devils needs to be for the Glazer family to exit the club amid claims that they could end up staying.

The Old Trafford club have been up for sale since November with a soft deadline for bids coming and going over recent days. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to spearhead a takeover effort in the UK, while Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani is thought to have launched a Qatari-backed bid.

There have been further developments elsewhere with US hedge fund Elliott Investment Management keen on investing in the Red Devils albeit stopping short of putting together their own takeover bid. As per ESPN, any investment from Elliott could actually lead to the Glazer family remaining and extending their nearly two-decade ownership of the club.
