Manchester United owner Avram Glazer has reportedly held talks with prospective buyers while in Qatar for the World Cup. The Glazer family announced last month that they are seeking a sale of the Old Trafford club they have owned since 2005. Indeed, they have hired the Raine Group to act as United’s exclusive financial advisor and try to find interested parties. While at the World Cup in Doha, Glazer used the opportunity to meet with potential investors, according to The Athletic. The report does not state who Glazer has spoken to since being in Qatar, while United and the Raine Group have refused to comment. He was present at France’s 2-0 semi-final win over Morocco, where he gave some brief comments about United. Glazer told The Athletic: “It’s not necessarily a sale, it’s a process and we’re going forward with the process, so we’ll see what happens. “That’s the update, it’s the process and the process is proceeding.” The Red Devils have previously held discussions with Saudi Arabia regarding investment in the club, as well as talks with Dubai-based investment funds.
