There’s never a dull news day where Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Manchester United are concerned.
A year after the initial floating of an idea by the Glazer family that they could be interested in potentially selling the club, there is still no formal announcement.
It’s widely expected that Sir Jim will take over 25 percent of the club and have immediate control of the sporting side of the business.
Whilst that might not be to the liking of every United fan, it does show some progress on the part of the Glazer’s to eventually relinquish control.
The Old Trafford faithful are likely to be overjoyed once things have finally been ratified, but an 11th hour twist means that they’ll be kept waiting a little longer.
As reliable journalist Ben Jacobs posted on X (formerly Twitter), no announcement will now be made on Monday, even though one was widely expected.
No announcement planned today. Hope still remains it’s all confirmed before Thanksgiving.? https://t.co/UQaupARohG

Thanksgiving (November 23) is being seen as a potential cut off point by which the announcement should hopefully be made.
The longer it goes on and the process becomes more drawn out, the more the frustration builds amongst the fan base.
They’ve waited this long, however, that surely another few days won’t matter. Particularly if it turns out to be one of the best decisions that’s been made in the interests of the club.
It’s high time they were back where they belong…
The Glazers are heartless monsters that knows how to suck every penny out of people , they don’t care about criticism or stupid fan’s carrying placards while filling old Trafford to the brim to boost their profits, trust me Radcliffe will end up paying £10billion+. eventually for united, they will checkmate Radcliffe easily to get what they want, and to think they are heavily backed by SAF.
It still remains as a labyrinth of where the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are headed, because the Glazers are their usual self, with nothing confirmed or denied.
Only Sir 🐀cliffe is talking and talking so much it doesn’t really make sense. If he is going to acquire a miserable 25% of the Glazer’s 69%, which equates to only 16.5%
only, how can he wield so much power to conduct transfer dealings?? and what do the Glazers do, just sit and stare at each other???
