Manchester United's takeover could be completed 'very soon', it is being reported
Manchester United are currently on the market, with the Glazer family eager to sell the club after 17 years of owning the Premier League giants.
Valued between £6billion-£7billion, the Glazer family have a hugely attractive proposition on their hands as they look to offload to a super-rich buyer amid ongoing fan protests in and around Old Trafford.
According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, a deal could be done before too long. Ornstein told USA Network:
"The Raine Bank, who are in charge of this process, are aiming for a complete sale of Manchester United in the first quarter of 2023.
"Therefore, the Glazer family are not going to sanction a massive outlay of cash on deals at this time of the year.
"You will need to watch this space on a takeover because it could be coming very soon and it will be a seismic moment in the history of Manchester United because so many supporters have wanted a change in the hierarchy.
"They have had so many changes off the pitch but now it could go to the very top and if Raine Bank who are leading this process, get their way, it is going to be a fascinating few months ahead to see who takes charge and leads them into the future."
Erik ten Hag's team currently sit fifth in the Premier League, 11 points off league leaders Arsenal. They are facing Wolverhampton Wanderers in their ultimate match of the year, on Saturday afternoon, at Molineux stadium.
