Glazer family have reportedly concluded arrangement to take Manchester United off the market as hated owners hold out for a new £10 billion asking price.
The owners had initially agreed to sell the club at £6 billion to Qatari billionaire, Sheikh Jassim.
A source at the Daily Mail has claimed that the Glazers, who have owned United since 2005, will continue running the club for the foreseeable future.
Their fresh £10bn asking price was not met by any of the bidders, despite offers from Sheikh Jassim and Jim Ratcliffe.
The American businessmen are seemingly content to keep hold of their asset until a suitable offer arrives.
This will no doubt anger United fans, with a portion of the fanbase being vocally against the Glazer family.
There has already been a protest against their ownership this season and anti-Glazer songs sung every time United play, whether that be at Old Trafford or on the road.
