Manchester United Plc shares slid in US premarket trading on Tuesday after a report in the Mail On

Manchester United Plc shares slid in US premarket trading on Tuesday after a report in the Mail On Sunday that said the Glazer family is going to take the club off the market after failing to receive offers that match their asking price.

Shares of the Premier League team fell as much as 11% in premarket trading on Tuesday, putting the stock on track for its biggest one-day slump in about a month. As of last close, Manchester United was valued at $3.9 billion.

The newspaper cited a source with long-standing close ties to the Glazers as saying the family may try to sell the club again in 2025 when improved conditions could attract more bidders. A spokesperson for Manchester United declined to comment on what they called “rumors and speculation,” when contacted by Bloomberg.
