The Glazer family has opened the door on the possibility of selling Manchester United.
The American-based ownership group has ordered banks to explore the sale of the flagship Premier League club after 17 years of stewardship, according to a club announcement.
American businessman Malcolm Glazer took control of the club in 2005 with a £790 million bid. Glazer’s heirs have operated the team since his death in 2014. The family also owns the NFL’s Buccaneers. A statement from the family Tuesday revealed several possible options regarding the club.
