Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag delivers blunt reply to Glazer’s question as takeover gossip lugs on
Erik ten Hag addressed the potential takeover of Manchester United prior to the forthcoming preseason match against Wrexham.
This week, when queried about Manchester United’s takeover situation, Erik ten Hag’s responses were brief and not particularly eloquent. The Red Devils’ manager is reportedly frustrated by the drawn-out saga, which has left the club in limbo ahead of the new season.
It has been well over eight months since the Glazers acknowledged that they were secretly evaluating strategic alternatives. Both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani have submitted proposals valuing the club at approximately $5 billion.
However, United’s unpopular owners and Raine Group, the bank managing the process, have kept the two major takeover candidates in the dark for weeks. Prior to his team’s preseason match against Wrexham, Ten Hag remained tight-lipped about the team’s situation.
When asked if he had spoken with Avram Glazer after Saturday’s win over Arsenal in a friendly, Ten Hag responded, “I did not speak with him after the game.”
When asked if he had spoken with his sibling Joel Glazer, he responded, “No. When I desire, I can contact them.” In recent years, United supporters have frequently organized protests in an effort to rid the club of its billionaire proprietors.
However, there is still a chance that Joel and Avram will remain at Old Trafford, as the expansion of the Champions League and the Club World Cup promise new revenue opportunities.\
The Glazers have provided Ten Hag with financial support during the current transfer window. Mason Mount and Andre Onana are expected to be followed by at least one additional signing, with Rasmus Hojlund and Sofyan Amrabat significantly linked to Old Trafford.
As the competitive season approaches, Ten Hag has indicated that he is near to assembling the team he envisioned at the beginning of the summer. Additionally, the former Ajax manager has indicated that a select few academy players will be given more prominent roles in the team.
He stated, “We have strengthened the midfield position.” “You have a guardian problem, and we resolved it. Now we’re looking for a forward, and then we’ll see what transpires.
“In terms of quantity, I am confident that we have enough performers for the season. Consequently, I am also pleased with the development of certain academy players. In addition, we need open positions so that they have the chance to earn their position.”
