Dr James Fox takes a closer look at Manchester United shares after the owning Glazer family received new and improved offers for the football club.

Some analysts suggest another reason for the model’s lack of relevance is that English Premier League (EPL) clubs are poised for a period of much faster growth, with the value of broadcasting rights climbing relentlessly. Why would Liverpool’s Markham valuation be higher than Manchester United’s, while the owning Glazer family want 50% more for their club than Liverpool’s owners. EPL clubs can lose a fortune in revenues by missing out on the Champions League inclusion, or being relegated. But that’s much less than the £4bn the owner Fenway Sports value it at. Liverpool FC is valued at £1.2bn, using the Markham metric. Finnish entrepreneur Thomas Zilliacus is also among those bidding for the club.

Keep track of the day's Man United breaking news, takeover updates, analysis, transfer rumours and injury updates.

"United splashed out big money when Erik ten Hag stepped into the dugout, but allowing both to move and then scoping the market for a new number one goalkeeper would eat into their budget, and the majority of that is currently reserved. The defender has struggled to earn regular opportunities at United this season, playing just nine times in the Premier League. United have scored 79 goals this season and Marcus Rashford is responsible for 27 of them. The 23-year-old is the second most expensive signing in the club's history and clearly forms a key part of Erik ten Hag's plans going forward, though there would be a demand for a more consistent output on his part. I am sure he probably has the ambition to play in the Premier League." England captain Kane is thought to be right at the top of the shopping list. United have signed nine new players since Ten Hag took charge, including the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro. [Marcus Rashford](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford) was a welcomed return on Monday as he was back in training following the injury he picked up in the last outing against Fulham which saw him withdraw from the England squad. "Kane faces a huge decision this summer as he enters the final year of his Tottenham contract. Liverpool are thought to see the centre-back as the ideal partner for Virgil van Dijk, but he will not come cheaply given his £97million release clause. He can score with either foot, and he can score with his head. However, as City discovered, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is a fearsome negotiator and the proposed blockbuster move is fraught with complication.

Man Utd takeover LIVE as Sheikh Jassim, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other bidders wait to hear back from the Raine Group and the Glazer family.

We have to rethink the current rules. “There is more and more interest for this multi-club ownership and we shouldn’t just say no for the investments, but we have to see what kind of rules we set in that case because rules have to be strict. Maybe one day I'll be able to buy the club." "Half my family were born in Manchester so I’ve been a United fan since I was a baby. I think he’s done an amazing job, so I really hope that he stays with the club and if I would be the owner I’d definitely want to see him continue." We are happy with the game he played on Friday [against the Netherlands].” Bidders are expected to get a response soon, when the next stage of the takeover will then commence. It’s more about the bigger picture, the course-determining issues that I want to involve them in. “He is very complete and has an impressive volume of play. "What he did with Ajax was amazing and what he’s done now with Manchester United is equally amazing." "We still have to think it through carefully.

So with an English football team, or a Welsh team that plays in the English system, we don’t have to worry about that regionalization. “We had hoped that at some point we’d be playing Manchester United in the Premier League,” he added. The truth is, the system is in place for that very thing to happen.

Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus has expressed an interest to buy Manchester United. Speaking to Dutch outlet NOS today, the publication stressed how ...

As far as I am concerned, Manchester United does not belong to one person, not an ego trip, but to everyone with a heart for the club.” And he had the courage, which I really admire, to tell even big established stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo ‘look, this is me running this and this is how I need to do’. The Finn also said he’s a big fan of Erik ten Hag and the work he has done at Old Trafford to date. “Of course, after a long experience in the business world, I understand that you will have to pay a lot for such a club. What he did with Ajax was amazing and what he’s done now with Manchester United is equally amazing. Zilliacus is happy to talk and I think he deserves a bit of credit for that.
