On Sunday, Manchester United visited an ‘in-form’ West Ham United in an English Premier League (EPL) fixture as the underdogs, News About Nigeria reports.
Unfortunately, Ten Hag’s men suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat due to De Gea’s poor catch of Said Benrahma’s strike from outside the eighteen-yard box. This loss has dealt a blow to Manchester United’s hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League.
Following the defeat, Manchester United fans’ attention has now turned to the club’s takeover process, which has stalled in recent days.
Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe are the frontrunners to buy the club from the Glazers family, the current owners.
However, the bidders are still waiting to hear back about their offers to buy the club, with the Glazers coming under increasing pressure to make a final decision in the coming days.
Legendary Manchester United player Gary Neville has expressed his frustration with the Glazers, who are delaying the takeover process of the club.
In a Twitter post, Neville called out the club owners, describing them as a real disgrace. He criticized the Glazers for shirking accountability and responsibility and leaving members of staff on and off the pitch in an uncertain position, waiting for new owners.
Neville also criticized the Glazers for their handling of the club’s recruitment and budget, saying that it should have been done and that they were a shambles.
Manchester United have now lost their last two matches, with the first being against Brighton, just a week before their second loss against West Ham.
