United up for sale following Ronaldo's actions in the media

Cristiano Ronaldo put the world on hold last week when his media interview with Piers Morgan on TalkUncensored was aired. The two-part interview was Ronaldo's first open interview with the media since speculation about his future at United began to surface.

Ronaldo's opening discussed a host of issues surrounding his situation at Manchester United which includes his accusation about the club's treatment of his issue, their lack of ambition and a clear path to being a top club, and also that the club owners care about anything but the club.

His heavy comments were said to have lit the fury fuse at United and Carrington over his media outburst that also questioned the intentions of Ten Hag towards him in his match squad. Ultimately, the club and Ronaldo parted ways amicably following their respective statement. But the club has gone a step further in salvaging Ronaldo's comments on how they are run.

In an official statement released hours after Ronaldo's exit, United confirmed that they are up for sale in not many words. This decision comes after what is believed to have been a detailed overview of the club and the Glazers' decision to bring in new owners or partners, as all options are on the table.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE CLUB AND THE SELLING PRICE?

Manchester United is reportedly valued at 4.5 billion euros by the Glazers family, which is twice the price Chelsea FC was sold for in the summer. It is believed that the offer is being unused to scare off non-credible suitors despite Forbes's 3.9 billion euros evaluation. But it remains a tricky option for suitors, especially with Liverpool FC who is also available for sale at a much cheaper price.
