Manchester United sale: Glazers make price tag clear as Sir Jim Ratcliffe steps up bid

The Glazers won't budge from their asking price for Manchester United after it emerged that the club's owners were seeking a full sale.

It was confirmed in November that the American family were open to offers and actively 'exploring strategic alternatives', but now United officials are believed to be expecting a wholesale takeover. Mirror Football understands that the Glazers could hold out for up to £8billion - a world-record sum for a football club by some distance - and a fresh report claims that the bigwigs at Old Trafford will remain steadfast in their demands.

United's much-maligned owners will refuse to drop their asking price as bidding steps up, according to the Mail. A mid-February deadline for proposals has been mooted, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe currently the only party to have confirmed their intention to make a serious offer.
