- There is a concern Glazers are trying to create leverage for loan
- Elliott Management bid for ‘small amount of common equity’
Concerns are growing among some parties involved in the Manchester United sale that the Glazers might have “played them for months” – and instead of selling the club they would prefer to either push up the price to create leverage for a loan, or offload a minority stake to a hedge fund.
The latest plot twist came on a day where parties were told that the deadline for the second round of bidding would now be 4pm UK time on Friday – having been pushed back from Wednesday night – and US hedge fund Elliott Management confirmed that it had made an offer for United, but only for a “small amount of common equity”.
