http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3313294/The-Glazer-family-WILL-sell-Manchester-United.htmlGlazers will sell UnitedMANCHESTER UNITED'S future has been thrown into doubt after a club bigwig said the Glazers WILL sell up.
Old Trafford non-executive director Mike Edelson revealed: "It's no secret that, at some time, the family will sell."
And that has now opened the door for the Qatar royal family, headed by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who have targeted United in a ?.5billion deal.
Edelson's comment is the first clear indicator the Glazers will listen to offers for United, which they have plunged into debt. Having bought the Premier League giants for ?90million 5?years ago, the Yanks now stand to DOUBLE their money.
GLAZER ... debtsSources in the City are convinced the Glazers are ready to sell after they paid off ?52m of the ?52m of debt they saddled the club with.
One top city source said: "The belief is that they have already brought in extra finance from a third party in a bid to set the club up for a sale."
A Middle East football finance expert, meanwhile, told SunSport that Qatar Holdings - the business arm of the country's royal family - have been hovering around United waiting to strike.
The source said: "They have made tentative moves before with little success but this time it looks like they could be going for it.
"Now they have landed the 2022 World Cup, the country wants to expand its influence in the game across the globe."
United board member Edelson has been a close confidant of the Glazers since they took over the club in 2005.
He made his shock revelation in a Q&A session at the Maccabi Sports Club in Prestwich, Manchester.
Qatar's royal family has an estimated ?0bn of assets and, last week, became the first sponsor of Barcelona's team shirts in a ?25m deal.
