Neville tells the Glazers what they must do with Man Utd takeover bid 'imminent'

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has hit out at the Glazers and demanded that they sell the club quickly with formal offers 'imminent'.

Criticism of their ownership is usually highlighted after heavy defeats, but following United's dramatic 2-0 derby win over Manchester City, Neville made sure to still talk about their shortcomings.

He told Sky Sports: "The club still needs new owners, the Glazers need to sell quickly in the next month or two.

"That would give even more confidence to the club, that they’ve got the right manager, and hopefully got better owners, who have got the money the club need, rather than extracting from the club, they can put money into the club."

With their turnaround in fortunes under Erik ten Hag, he seems to think the only thing preventing the Red Devils from returning to the glory of the past is the ownership.

The Glazers have reportedly set an asking price of £6 billion to £8 billion for the club and given the size of the United brand it's not a surprise that they deem the club worthy of that price tag.

Takeover bids imminent

Telegraph Sport has revealed interest from Asia, the Middle East and the United States as well as Manchester born billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

An offer from the Brit is expected but formal talks are yet to begin, with him being a well-liked choice amongst most fans.

It's expected that over the next few weeks potential investors will publicly state their intention to buy United with continued hopes that a deal can be reached before the end of the season.

The Glazers who bought the club for £790m back in 2005 through a leveraged buyout have seen their tenure marred by protests and revolt.

They announced their intention to source outside investment back in November to the delight of fans and have since seen interest from Saudi Arabia and Qatar as well as Ratcliffe.

With arch rivals Liverpool also seeking new investment both clubs will be going head to head to try and get the best deal possible.
