After the failed Qatari tycoon Jassim's bid to buy Manchester United, many fans were disappointed, believing that the club's decade-long championship drought was mainly due to ownership issues. They wanted a change in ownership but ultimately couldn't secure it. However, is there really no hope left for a Manchester United ownership change?

In fact, there were originally two wealthy individuals interested in acquiring Manchester United. One of them was the aforementioned Jassim, and with his exit, the only potential buyer left is Sir Ratcliffe. Sir Ratcliffe is associated with the Ineos Group and has been eager to become the new owner of Manchester United. Unfortunately, the Glazer family, the current owners of the club, is not willing to sell the club outright, so they are exploring alternative arrangements.

Reportedly, the Glazer family initially had no intention of giving up full ownership and was looking to sell up to 25% of the shares, a condition Jassim did not accept. However, Sir Ratcliffe is willing to accept these terms, making him the most likely new candidate to become one of Manchester United's owners.

Some Manchester United fans might feel disappointed, with the Glazer family still being the majority owners. However, reports suggest that if Sir Ratcliffe acquires a share of Manchester United, an agreement will be reached with the Glazer family, giving him full control over the club's sports-related matters. This would lead to a comprehensive overhaul of the football department, including personnel, management, and the team itself. In essence, Sir Ratcliffe is expected to manage the sporting aspect better than the Glazer family, which has sparked optimism among a portion of Manchester United fans.

These are all billionaire takeover games; I'm not interested in following them.

"Even if the takeover fell through, the speculation can still be considered a success. How do the fans feel? The owners probably won't take it too seriously, right?

The current situation at Manchester United doesn't seem likely to yield significant results within the next five years. With so many new arrivals in the team, many of whom have yet to establish themselves, there's a challenge of finding the right balance. It's a dilemma – not a complete overhaul, but also the need to achieve success with the existing personnel. Buying more players would require additional time for team integration. So, the current state of Manchester United is indeed challenging. It's a scenario where neither a total rebuild nor immediate success is guaranteed.

Manchester United indeed has a lot of problems, and their performance is truly poor. I hope they can restore their former glory as the Red Devils soon.

I dare say that even the wealthiest tycoons wouldn't spend their money on acquiring a troubled team. Manchester United has a multitude of issues, and it's not just the management; there are problems from the coaching staff to the players. If they can resolve their internal problems, I believe there might be tycoons willing to purchase the team.

Mainly, it's because Manchester United holds a high value. Despite a lack of championships in recent years, their global fanbase is exceptionally vast. So, the expected acquisition price, even if it's high, is not considered too high.
