I'm officially signing out. #BoycottManchesterUnited I'm a third-generation Manchester United fan. From my grandfather to my father, I grew up with the traditions, standards, pride and winning mentality of this great football club. I've witnessed the glory, celebrated the titles and stood by United through the difficult times. But enough is enough. I can no longer watch the club I love being dragged further away from everything it once stood for. No new manager is ever going to fix us only change of ownership. My love for Manchester United will never die, but my support for those running it ends here. Three generations of loyalty. And today, I've had enough. #MUFC #INEOSOut #GlazersOut #BoycottUnited

🚨 JUST IN! Sir Jim Ratcliffe has a clear path to take majority control of Manchester United from the Glazers in the second half of 2029. Under the club’s $550m June refinancing, a “Stadium Event” lets United repay those loans penalty-free from 10 June 2029; combined with the revolving credit facility expiring at the end of that year, this creates a window to clear the remaining Glazer leveraged-buyout debt and potentially shift it onto Ineos’s books if Ratcliffe lifts his 28.94% stake. That would free United’s balance sheet and unlock far more borrowing capacity for a £2–3bn stadium, for which land has already been bought. It still depends on the Glazers selling and Ineos (already carrying over £10bn of net debt) being willing and able to take on more leverage. [@TelegraphDucker]

Could February 2027 mark the beginning of the end for the Glazers and INEOS at Manchester United? The Glazers have spent years extracting wealth from United, while the club desperately needs serious investment in its squad, infrastructure and future. The financial situation raises a serious question: how much more can they extract without putting significant money back in? Here's where it gets interesting. Under the shareholder agreement, the Glazers have drag-along rights that could force Sir Jim Ratcliffe to sell his stake as part of a qualifying takeover. Until February 2027, Ratcliffe benefits from a $33-per-share price protection. After that, the protection expires. That potentially opens the door for the Glazers to negotiate a complete sale of Manchester United, including Ratcliffe's stake, without needing his agreement to remain. Could the Glazers be positioning themselves for one final payday rather than funding the rebuild United desperately needs? A full takeover is contractually possible. Whether anyone is preparing one remains unknown. But February 2027 is a date every United supporter should have on their radar. #MUFC #GlazersOut #INEOSOut #Ratcliffe

🚨 Michael Carrick: “I spoke with the players and I have to say, the boys are hungry”. “We're hurting because we haven't won enough football games, but there's an intensity, there's a bit of an edge, there's a disappointment, there's a hunger to do better”.

🚨WATCH THIS: @SkyKaveh absolutely DESTROYS Sir Jim Ratcliffe LIVE on @SkySportsNews last night: “I’m going to tell you who’s to blame for this situation at the moment. The person to blame is Jim Ratcliffe. He bought the club almost three years ago. He bought 29% of it when the Glazer family put the club up for sale. He didn’t buy the whole club; he only bought 29% of it. And by buying 29%, it meant that the Glazers stayed in place and Jim Ratcliffe got to run the football operations.” That’s the original sin. He didn’t clean house. He just propped up the Glazers. Then the arrogance of the man who thought he knew better: “He’s come in and he’s said, ‘I know better than anyone else how to run this club. We’re going to do things my way.’ And look what it’s turned out to be over the past two and a half years.” The managerial mess followed immediately: “First of all, he said, ‘I’m going to back Erik ten Hag. We’ve been chopping and changing managers too much.’ Then he went off and started meeting Thomas Tuchel and any other manager who was available behind Erik ten Hag’s back.” “When they couldn’t find somebody else, they gave Ten Hag a new contract and money to spend. A couple of games later, Ten Hag loses his job.” “In the middle of the season, they beg Ruben Amorim to come to United. He doesn’t even want to go there in the middle of the season; he wants to wait until the summer. They pay a fortune to get him, even though he plays three at the back, a totally different kind of football.” “Dan Ashworth doesn’t want him. Dan Ashworth leaves, Ruben Amorim comes in, and they go all in on Ruben Amorim. That doesn’t work out. They get rid of him.” “They bring in Carrick as an interim. Okay, results are better. Then they give him the full-time job.” And then the transfer policy that locked the club into mediocrity: “In the meantime, Ratcliffe has come in and said, ‘We’re going to do things my way. No player is going to get paid 250, 300 grand a week here anymore. That’s not going to happen. We’re not going to sign any players for more than 60, 70 million pounds.’ So Mateus Fernandes, Elliot Anderson, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, all these players, we ain’t going to be signing them. And also, we’re only going to be signing players with Premier League experience. And we’re going to sign forwards one window, then the following summer we’re just going to sign midfielders, then next summer we’re just going to sign defenders.’ So this is Jim Ratcliffe’s way of doing things. So he is to blame for this situation.” #MUFC

One of the main reasons #mufc have decided to keep Michael Carrick is financial. Sir Jim Ratcliffe made the final decision following talks involving the Glazers, Berrada and Wilcox [@SullyTalkz]

🚨🚨 NEW: Gareth Southgate is among the candidates being considered by Manchester United as a potential replacement for Michael Carrick. [@NicoSchira] #mufc
