Glazers Have No Plans to Sell Manchester United Despite Reports of Saudi Interest

The owners of Manchester United, the Glazer family, reportedly have no plans to sell the club despite rumours that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is preparing a whopping £4bn bid.

Rumours have emerged over the last few days that Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who's family is worth an estimated £850bn, has been preparing to launch a bid for the 20-time English champions. It was reported that he would meet with United representatives in the next few weeks.

However, the decision of co-owner Avram Glazer to pull out of an upcoming investment forum in Saudi Arabia, following the recent death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, appears to have poured cold water on these rumours.
