The Glazers may sell Manchester United but have already weakened any new owner's hand

After 17 years of ownership, the Glazer family have announced that they are seeking 'alternative strategies' for investment which could result in the sale of Manchester United. Fans across the globe have rejoiced at the news as the rocky relationship between themselves and the American owners might finally be coming to an end.

In a statement released on United's official website, the club stated: "As part of this process, the Board will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions involving the Company.

"This will include an assessment of several initiatives to strengthen the club, including stadium and infrastructure redevelopment, and expansion of the club’s commercial operations on a global scale, each in the context of enhancing the long-term success of the club’s men’s, women’s and academy teams, and bringing benefits to fans and other stakeholders."
