Manchester United shares surge 11% as Glazer siblings explore divestment following a £0.03 per share Q3 profit beat.
Manchester United’s New York-listed shares jumped 11% to $22.10 after reports that Glazer family members are considering selling part or all of their stakes. The move follows a record Q3 adjusted profit of £0.03 per share, surpassing analyst expectations and prompting a revenue guidance upgrade.
The Glazer family, majority owners for over two decades, remains divided, with some members resisting a full exit. The profit surge stems from CEO Omar Berrada’s restructuring efforts and minority partner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s influence, driving financial performance beyond consensus.
The stock rally reflects investor optimism over potential ownership changes and improved financials, though no formal sale process has been announced.
