YOGYAKARTA - The owner of Manchester United, the Glazer family, has sold the club. What do you think the manchester united costs if it is sold?

In a statement on Tuesday, just hours after United terminated Cristiano Ronaldo's contract after an unlicensed interview with Piers Morgan, in which he destroyed the team, the football club board said it was "starting the process of finding a strategic alternative."

"As part of this process, the Council will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investments into clubs, sales, or other transactions involving the Company," the council said.

The Raine group, which oversees Chelsea FC's sales earlier this year, acted United's exclusive financial adviser, with Rothschild and Co. working on behalf of the Glazer family.

In a statement, co-chairman Avram and Joel Glazer said: "We will evaluate all options to ensure that we provide the best service to our fans and that Manchester United maximize the significant growth opportunities available to the Club today and in the future."

"Throughout this process we will remain fully focused on serving the best interests of our fans, shareholders, and stakeholders."

The Glazer family bought their first stake in Manchester United in March 2003, and continued to increase their shares before completing a full takeover in June 2005.

Since the start, their holdings have been the target of major protests from United fans, with clubs lagging behind rivals in the Premier League despite spending more than $1.1 billion on transfers since 2013 alone.

United supporters are furious with the fact that the Glazer family, according to Manchester Evening News, has paid a dividend of $158 million to themselves over the past decade, while at the same time there has been little investment in United's aging iconic stadium, Old Trafford.

When Glazers first took over Manchester United, the club's assessment, with a calculated exchange rate, was around $1.5 billion, according to The Athletic.

In May 2022, the club was valued at $4.6 billion by Forbes.

But football financial expert Kieran Maguire told Sky Sports News on Tuesday that "not impossible" United's sales could generate $6 billion.

"If you compare the relative measures of profitability and revenue generated at Manchester United with Chelsea, I think the figures between IDX4 billion [$4.8 billion USD] and Expenditure 4.5 billion [$5.4 billion USD] are appropriate, and if there is a lot of interest, it will raise prices."

Chelsea was sold to a consortium led by one of LA penghunis Todd Boehly's owners for $5.3 billion in May. However, only $3 billion of the money paid upfront, with the remaining $2.3 billion USD promised as a future investment.

"Manchester United is a unique asset, it's a global brand, so it's not impossible [$6 billion] worth it, but it's going to be very expensive," Maguire said.
