Gary Neville and his fellow Manchester United fans could be about to have their "biggest fear" realised after it emerged that the Glazers are confident of remaining as the club's owners.
Since an announcement last November, United have been on the market. For much longer than that, supporters like Neville have demanded that the club be sold. After the likes of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani entered the running and submitted multiple bids - although not matching the Glazers' £6billion asking price - it appeared that United were closer than ever to changing hands.
Now, though, a fresh report from ESPN claims that brothers Joel and Avram, who front the American family's unpopular regime, are increasingly confident of securing minority investment in the club which would enable them to extend their reign at Old Trafford beyond the 18-year mark.
