Avram Glazer asked to give Manchester United takeover update, his response is telling

Manchester United co-owner Avram Glazer was asked to give an update on the takeover process involving the club after the Women's FA Cup final on Sunday.

Marc Skinner's United side took on Chelsea at Wembley, looking to win the trophy for the first time in the club's history.

But they suffered a 1-0 defeat, with Sam Kerr's second half goal the difference between the two sides.

United will now turn their attentions to the Women's Super League, which they currently lead by two points ahead of Chelsea, although they have played a game more than Emma Hayes' side.

Away from the action, what was noticeable during the game was a surprise appearance by Glazer, who was appearing at Wembley for the second time in three months after being present for the men's Carabao Cup final against Newcastle in February.

The American has said little on the United takeover process, which currently sees Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim among the favourites to acquire control of the club.

Speaking to Sky News in Florida in November, he said: "We've gone through a process, we're going to look at all different strategic alternatives and we'll see where that leads us."

When pressed again at Wembley over the timeframe for a potential sale, Glazer's 'answer' wasn't what United fans would have hoped for.

Glazer asked about Man Utd sale

While Glazer walked through the media section of the ground at Wembley, he was asked by Sky News journalist Tyrone Francis about how long a sale is going to take.

However, the United co-owner did not acknowledge the journalist or even the question, and instead walked past without giving a takeover update - clearly showing that the family are keen to give nothing away at this stage.

The Sun claimed last week that Ratcliffe had been chosen by the Glazers as their preferred bidder for United, and that an announcement over the sale of the club could be made 'within days'.

The British billionaire's bid, according to Sky News, would involve him taking majority control of the club from the Glazers, with a 'put-and-call' clause involved in the deal which could force the current owners to sell their shares in 2026.

But the Daily Mail allege that Ratcliffe's team have been given no indication over where they currently stand, with the report claiming that sources close to both Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim feel the preferred bidder stories could be part of 'a strategic play' to attract even bigger bids.
