Many are fearful the Glazers, who have not put a penny of their own money into United since their controversial purchase in 2005, will remain in charge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/23\/74996371-12494011-Fans_have_protested_against_their_unpopular_owners_regularly_and-a-29_1694124744826.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Manchester United Supporters Trust have urged the club to &#8216;make a clear public statement about the status of the process and the intentions of the owners&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/23\/74996375-12494011-The_Glazers_will_take_Manchester_United_off_the_market_after_fai-a-26_1694124735253.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport revealed that the Glazers plan to take Manchester United off the market after failing to receive a bid matching their valuation of \u00a310billion<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/23\/69713931-12494011-British_billionaire_Sir_Jim_Ratcliffe_is_one_of_three_public_bid-a-27_1694124741017.jpg\" height=\"417\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/07\/23\/69718497-12494011-Qatari_Sheikh_Jassim_s_group_entered_their_second_offer_for_the_-a-28_1694124741024.jpg\" height=\"417\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe (left) and Qatari Sheikh Jassim (right) were the two front-runners in the process to take ownership of the club prior to recent developments<\/p>\n<p>In an update to its members, seen by Mail Sport, the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) urged the club to &#8216;make a clear public statement about the status of the process and the intentions of the owners&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And if they are intending to remain as owners they must be made aware of the negative reaction that news is going to create and the continued chaos and disruption that their ownership will continue to elicit,&#8217; MUST said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Aside from that, there are a whole series of big questions they would need to answer: What is their plan to invest in United?

Are those costs being met by the Glazer family, or by the club itself?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All in all, it&#8217;s been a process typical of their ownership of the club. Slow, opaque and increasingly looking like having a &#8220;worst case scenario&#8221; outcome.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>United fans have continued to protest against the Glazers &#8211; demanding a &#8216;full sale only&#8217; &#8211; and staged an hour-long sit in after the 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest last month. Further demonstrations are likely in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Our message is clear though: the club is in clear need of investment, and it is plain that the Glazers cannot or will not provide this,&#8217;
