== Ownership Structure<ref>https://capital.com/manchester-united-shareholder-who-owns-most-manu-stock</ref> == [[File:Screenshot 2023-08-09 155730.png|thumb|421x421px]] As of 7 December 2022, Manchester United is owned by a combination of both retail and institutional shareholders. The Glazer family, who contribute to all the retail shareholders, own 11,424,939 shares worth approximately Β£203.4 million, thus contributing to 74.79% of all total shares. Institutional shareholders own 41,537,439 shares, or 25.21% of the company. The five largest institutional shareholders are: * Chicago-based '''Ariel Investments''' (11,424,939 shares / 6.93%), * UK-based '''Lindsell Train''' (10,925,176 shares / 6.63%), * '''Massachusetts Financial Services''' (4,233,354 shares / 2.57%), * London-based '''Marathon Asset Management''' (2,185,908 shares / 1.33%), * New York-based '''Senvest Management''' (1,720,739 shares / 1.04%). The remaining 6.71% of shares are owned by other institutional shareholders. === Potential Changes in Ownership Structure === Manchester United FC is currently accepting bids for the sale of the club. The current owners value the club at 6 billion pounds. There are two bidders who are currently in the lead. The first bid is led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the CEO of Ineos group and the richest man in the UK, and the second one is led by Sheikh Jassim of Qatar, who also owns the French league winners- Paris St. Germain. Both bids have their advantages. The one led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe is appealing as it is led by a British person who has known and loved the club ever since he was a child. There is also the fact that the fans are sick of the club's American ownership which has been running the club simply as a cash cow rather than as a football club determined to win trophies. A local citizen owning the club thus has a huge fan backing. He also plans to purchase only a part of the club with the Glazer family maintaining a minority stake. On the other hand, the Qatari group has nearly unlimited funds and have already promised to keep aside funds for the stadium redevelopment and new player acquisitions. They alo own several other football clubs and such a deal has a potential for achieving positive synergy. It involves completely buying out the cub and wiping its debt clean for an estimated bid price of 5.5 billion pounds.<ref>https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/man-utd-takeover-explained-bidders-cost-deadline-tonight-b1060705.html<nowiki/>https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-takeover-news-live-27334126</ref>
