Since being officially sold by the Glazer family, there have been many forces who want to become the new president of MU. But who will win in the end?
At the end of last year, under great pressure from Manchester United fans, the Glazer brothers were forced to announce the sale of the team.
Immediately, there were many powerful forces in both finance and potential involved to become a candidate for the position of new president of the most traditional English football team.
And according to what the Daily Mail revealed, up to the present time (phase 2 after closing the customer list), there have been a number of characters revealed. Accordingly, there are wealthy billionaires in Qatar, Sir Jim Ratcliffe or most recently, Elon Musk – who has the second largest net worth in the world.
However, in recent statements, MU’s CEO Richard Arnold has affirmed that not every money can buy a team. Accordingly, the BLD team of the Red Devils will carefully evaluate each candidate and then “select the owner”.
Also in a recent statement, Mr. Arnold revealed the criteria to become the new president of Manchester United club:
“As part of this process, the board will review all strategic (Glazer) alternatives. This includes new investments in the club, advertising contracts, business operations, etc. ,..
In addition, the candidate will need to come up with initiatives to develop this club such as developing infrastructure, Old Trafford Stadium and expanding the club’s commercial activities on a global scale. A good idea will help both boys, girls and academy teams to grow stronger and more sustainable in the future as well as positively influence other stakeholders.
I also don’t know when and when this will happen. However, I believe the future ahead will be extremely promising.” – Former British accountant said.
Currently, MU’s men’s team is developing very strongly under coach Erik ten Hag. In addition to standing firmly in the Champions League group next season, the Red Devils are also aiming for their first title from 2017 until now when they face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on February 26
