GLAZERS HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL

Last updated : 14 May 2007 By Ed

From the Telegraph on the alleged takeover proposal by a Chinese consortium.

The Glazer family have warned off any potential suitors for Manchester United by confirming the Old Trafford club are not for sale. Reports have surfaced of an £850 million bid for United from a Chinese consortium hoping the Glazers would offload the club they acquired in such controversial circumstances two years ago.

It is claimed that contact was made with United by a finance expert on behalf of the consortium. However, sources close to the Glazers claim that no one has approached them.
