Some members of the billionaire Glazer family have been debating whether to sell their stake in Manchester United FC, after more than 20 years of ownership that has often been blighted by fan protest, people familiar with the matter said. Several stakeholders in the US-based Glazer family have been studying the possibility of divesting part or all of their holdings in the English Premier League football club, according to the people. The internal discussions initially centered on stake sales by some individual family members, who are now hoping to convince others to join them, the people said. The Glazer family has owned Manchester United since 2005, when they acquired the club for £790 million. Since then, the club has won several major trophies, including the Champions League, the Premier League, and the FA Cup. However, the family's ownership has also been marred by controversy, including fan protests over the club's financial management and the Glazer family's decision to take the club public in 2012. The Glazer family has also been criticized for their handling of the club's finances, including the decision to take on significant debt to finance the club's operations. The family has also been accused of prioritizing their own interests over those of the club and its fans. The internal discussions about selling the club's stake are ongoing, and it is unclear whether any members of the Glazer family will ultimately decide to sell their shares. However, the fact that the family is considering selling their stake in the club is a significant development, and it could have major implications for the future of Manchester United.
