Man Utd will increase Old Trafford security for next European game after takeover development - Report
Manchester United will reportedly increase security at Old Trafford for the next Champions League clash with FC Copenhagen.
This is due to concerns over fans’ reaction to the news that the Glazers will be staying at the club.
Sheikh Jassim pulled out of the takeover race after they failed to reach an agreement with the Glazers.
And now British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to take a 25 stake in the club through his company INEOS. But despite the minority stake, the 70-year-old will control the football operations at United.
It is also said that INEOS plan to rebuild Old Trafford into a 90,000-seat stadium after a successful deal.
However, there could still be a negative reaction from the fans as the Glazers will be staying as the majority stakeholders.
According to The Times, security will be increased at United’s home stadium for the next Champions League clash with Copenhagen.
The European fixture will follow after the Red Devils’ away trip to Sheffield United in the Premier League.
Glazers never wanted to sell
Manchester United fans have long wanted to get rid of the Glazers, who have been one of the worst owners.
It is definitely good to hear that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be controlling the football operations.
But at the same time, the Glazers will be staying as the majority shareholders which is making the supporters unhappy.
Sheikh Jassim’s bid looked appealing as they wanted a full takeover and also promised to clear all the debts of the club.
But the Glazers’ unrealistic valuation meant the Qatari banker pulled out of the takeover race.
It suggests they never wanted to leave United and probably only went through the whole process to appease the fans.
