Man Utd owners Glazers given new 'deadline' to sell with 'people spinning'
The Glazer family could finally decide to sell Manchester United to a new ownership group at some point in the next two years, according to football agent Jon Smith. The Red Devils have shocked the footballing world for all the wrong reasons since the start of the new Premier League season, with Erik ten Hag's side losing to Brighton before being subjected to a humiliating four-goal thrashing in Brentford this weekend. .
United's embarrassing form has intensified the anti-Glazer movement within the club's fanbase, with a significant portion of supporters believing the current owners are responsible for running up huge debts, taking bad appointments and not investing at an acceptable level both on and off the pitch. Smith insisted there could soon be major changes at the top of the hierarchy at Old Trafford, saying there is no shortage of potential investors to seize any future opportunity to buy United.
"Manchester United I believe will be sold in the next 24 months, there are people circling around," Smith said.
"The thing is, there are six siblings who are currently owners. That's a big number for everyone to date together in a straight line, so it may or may not [happen].

"I just feel like people there feel like it might be an option. Here's another addition to that. Who knows what the Chelsea takeover cost, 2 billion pounds?
"A lot of the £3-4billion was loan repayments and various other things that were bolted in, but it was probably £2.5billion, heading towards £3billion , which revalues Arsenal and Liverpool and the others.< /p>

"Based on global revenue, nothing affects Manchester United, they are in a league of their own."
The Glazer family took over United in 2005 and failed to win many admirers within the Red Devils' support base during his 17 years at the helm. They came under particularly heavy fire following last year's European Super League fiasco, with a large-scale fan protest against them resulting in United's game being rearranged against Liverpool.
Further protests have reportedly been planned ahead of United's next meeting with their Merseyside rivals at Old Trafford on Monday, with a number of fans set to stage a massive boycott of the event. It remains to be seen whether the Glazers will ultimately decide to sell in the months and years to come, with the external pressure on their shoulders only increasing over time.
