Manchester United's owners will not sell the club for "many, many years", despite ongoing interest, according to the vice-chairman. The sell-off of 10% of the Glazers' shares in August had raised some questions over the family's long-term involvement but Ed Woodward said they had no interest in cashing in the rest of their holding could not rule out one of the six Glazer siblings selling a stake in the future. "There is always interest in this business," he said.
"It is a phenomenal brand and club, but they are not willing sellers at all. They won't even engage, they are long-term investors.
" It's a very popular business that people have interest in. The answer is: 'Not for sale.' I talk to them [the Glazers] every day and the excitement they have in this club is undiminished and I don't see them selling completely [for] many, many years."
Woodward did accept, however, that one of the Glazers may sell at some point. "They could รข€" they are a family of six siblings and from time to time, seven to 10 years, who knows if one wants to sell a small piece or not."
The vice-chairman also revealed that India and Australia are on a shortlist for United to tour next summer. The club are also to open an office on the east coast of the US to try to cash in on growing interest in the sport.
