Gary Neville has namechecked Newcastle United's owners in outlining his 'manifesto' for the expected takeover of Manchester United. The Glazer family have reportedly set a deadline for Friday for prospective buyers of the Red Devils to declare their interest.
Manchester United's controversial owners are said to be seeking a £6 billion price tag to commit to a sale of Newcastle's upcoming Carabao Cup final opponents. Qatari investors have reportedly already held talks over a takeover, while billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has again been linked to the club.
The protracted takeover on Tyneside, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, was finally confirmed in October 2021. The deal attracted controversy on the back of the Kingdom's human rights record, while renewing focus on the question of state ownership of football clubs.
