'Open revolt' - Glazers sent fresh warning over consequences of not selling Manchester United

Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) has warned of an 'open revolt' if the Glazers back down from selling Manchester United.

The Glazer family invited more frustration earlier this month by deciding to open a third round of bidding, elongating any takeover process to at least the April 28 deadline. The news was enough for Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus to pull out of the race, labelling it a 'farce' and criticising the current owners for not coming to the table to negotiate.

Earlier this week, reports suggested that the American family could retain a majority share of United as they look to welcome a more sizeable payout in the future after a period of success under Erik ten Hag. That has intensified fears among supporters that any investment will be a minority stake and that the Glazers will remain in control.
