Man Utd sale question: Solhekol answers

Manchester United are in the relegation zone in the Premier League, and Michael Carrick's future remains uncertain. Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol answered readers' questions about the club's situation and its management during a live broadcast.

Responding to a question about a sale of the club, Solhekol said the decision belongs to the Glazer family, not the board. He said the family could sell its shares, but that would require an offer worth billions of pounds or dollars. He recalled that the sale process had previously been run through New York-based Raine Group.

According to Solhekol, there is currently no sign that Manchester United is for sale. It was also noted that no one has been instructed to sell the Glazer family's shares. Jim Ratcliffe's 30 percent stake is also being discussed. Solhekol said that if a sale went ahead, Ratcliffe and INEOS might have to sell their shares too, due to drag-along rights. He said he had no information that an investor had prepared a bid.
