United News: Are Manchester United up for sale?

 Are United up for sale?

It has been reported across the world that those running Manchester United are commencing a process to explore strategic alternatives for the club.

The first part of the statement on the Manchester United website reads:

"The process is designed to enhance the club's future growth, with the ultimate goal of positioning the club to capitalize on opportunities both on the pitch and commercially.  

As part of this process, the Board will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions involving the Company.  This will include an assessment of several initiatives to strengthen the club, including stadium and infrastructure redevelopment, and expansion of the club’s commercial operations on a global scale, each in the context of enhancing the long-term success of the club’s men’s, women’s and academy teams, and bringing benefits to fans and other stakeholders."

Pressure on the Glazer family has increased in a huge way since the failed bid to form the European Super League.

Reaction to the news

We've had a look through the social media platforms and forums to see what the reaction has been. One fairly well-known journalist said the below. This is something that many United fans would agree with:

A thread on the Red Cafe forum ( SKY: Glazers 'exploring financial options that could include an outright sale' | Glazers confirm they will 'explore strategic alternatives' incl. sale | RedCafe.net) has already had over 40 pages of discussion. 

The poster Glazed posted the following on that forum: "Firstly as far as I know we have spent less than City. But much more importantly the money has been spent with a commercial agenda in mind, and that's why the money exists. To put it another way, there is a reason we paid Ronaldo half a million a week, and it wasn't football. If we want to compete with City, we need the same kind of morally bankrupt plutocratic owners or some third option besides American sports franchise parasites."

Mancunian Angels replied with the following: "ultimately that's the biggest problem. Football is utterly broken at all levels. I'd love United to start dominating again but doing that with "morally bankrupt plutocratic" owners would never sit easy with me. I despise the Glazers like most but I hope we're all wary of jumping in bed with the first person that says they'll give us a good time."

United Review: Reds bounce back from Liverpool humiliation

 Manchester United 4 - 1 Real Betis Manchester United beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of the Europa League Round-of-16 clash. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Reds in the sixth minute, with a rifling strike that emphatically flew past Claudio Bravo. Despite an excellent start by United, our goal would be cancelled out just after the half-hour mark due to the on-loan Ayoze Perez firing across David De Gea into the bottom corner.  Erik's reds prove too strong Antony restored United's lead with a trademark effort that curled beyond a stranded Bravo, who could only watch as it hit the top corner. Minutes later, Bruno Fernandes got in on the act from Luke Shaw's corner. Our no.8 wasn't picked up as he wandered into the area to make it 3-1 on the night.  The final goal fell to Wout Weghorst, scoring his first in front of the Old Trafford faithful. Second-half substitute Facundo Pellistri was at the heart of the move, originally teeing up Scott McTominay whose s
