From the source

In November 2022, the Glazers announced a strategic review that briefly caused a surge of excitement among the fanbase. "The process is designed to enhance the club's future growth, with the ultimate goal of positioning the club to capitalise on opportunities both on the pitch and commercially," a club statement read.

"As part of this process, the board will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions involving the company."

It was a drawn-out process that saw two main bidders emerge: INEOS and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim. The latter reportedly tabled a bid of around £6 billion and claimed he would have cleared United's debt, but the Glazers eventually decided against a full sale.
