The MU owner has made a surprising move, will the Red Devils change ownership?

This move instantly drew the focus of the UK press, given that MU is going through a volatile phase and needs decisions with a long-term vision.

Manchester United is entering a critical phase both in terms of sporting performance and organizational structure, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe confirmed his flight to Manchester to attend the latest board meeting with Joel and Avram Glazer.

Originally, Manchester United’s top-level meetings were usually held in Monaco, where the Glazer family enjoys logistical convenience. However, this time the venue was relocated to Manchester, indicating the seriousness and urgency of the issues the MU leadership must address. The change of location was not only to avoid disruption for the football management team but also to facilitate direct communication between stakeholders and the coaching staff at this sensitive time.

One of the most notable highlights of this meeting is the likelihood that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family will work directly with interim coach Michael Carrick and his team. This is seen as a crucial opportunity for senior management to hear internal assessments regarding the club’s situation, covering expertise, personnel, and short- to medium-term development plans.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has completed the purchase of a minority stake in Manchester United and taken control of the football division, is under significant pressure from fans. Red Devils supporters expect the English billionaire to bring about clear changes, especially in team operations, transfer strategies, and the management structure, which has faced criticism for years under the Glazer family’s tenure.

In this context, the face-to-face meeting in Manchester carries strong symbolic meaning. It shows Ratcliffe's desire to be present and actively involved in decision-making rather than managing from afar. At the same time, the Glazer family’s willingness to travel also reflects growing pressure from public opinion and the club’s inconsistent performance.

Additionally, another potentially shocking piece of news is that the Glazers have set a selling price for Manchester United. The figure is around £6 billion, and if the full amount is offered, the Glazers will proceed with the sale immediately. Recently, reports about billionaire Sheikh Jassim renewing his interest in Manchester United have made this information even more noteworthy. If the club is successfully transferred to Qatari ownership, it would be a deal that shakes the entire European football world.

For Manchester United, every top-level meeting at this time is vital. Fans are waiting not just for promises but for concrete actions to restore the club to its rightful status. Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s flight to Manchester could signal that the wheels of change are finally starting to turn.
