The real reason why The Glazers might be compelled to sell Manchester United

Manchester United has not yet decided whether The Glazers will own the team in the coming years. Since the beginning of this year, United's situation seemed more complicated than previously thought. As the months went by, things became a little clearer but without a fixed answer. Despite constant complaints from fans about the current owners of the club, the situation has not improved.

The series of unfortunate events, in addition to the administrative, also includes the sporting. For this reason, United are currently going through a very unfavourable situation. Erik ten Hag's team has not been able to shine in this Premier League and has shown it in their last few games. Despite spending just over £190m, the signings have not yielded the expected results.

Clearly, there are exceptions in this situation, such as Rasmus Hojlund, who has been able to adapt correctly. Nevertheless, there are other cases such as Mason Mount that simply have not entirely favored his stay in Carrington. Similarly, the English midfielder suffered an injury that kept him away from the pitch for a couple of weeks.

Returning to the subject of The Glazers, according to national and international media, Sir Jim Ratcliffe would have been chosen by The Glazer Family to buy only 25% of Manchester United. This, in turn, provoked the anger of fans, arguing that the INEOS CEO was favoring the interests of the current owners. However, the team's situation is more difficult than expected.

United's current situation

According to Dan Sheldon Sports, United's finances are very bad. Here's the data Sheldon provided via The United Stand:
