appeared to have come to an end when United announced Ronaldo&#8217;s contract had been terminated by mutual agreement to bring to an end his second spell at Old Trafford. <br \/>That dramatic announcement was eclipsed just hours later by the news the US-based Glazer family could also be on their way out. <br \/>&#8220;The board will consider all strategic alternatives, including new investment into the club, a sale, or other transactions involving the company,&#8221; United said in a statement. <\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component\" data-pos=\"16\">\n<blockquote

($934 million) leveraged takeover in 2005 burdened the club with huge debts. <br \/>Frustration towards the Americans has only grown during a nine-year decline in results on the pitch since Alex Ferguson&#8217;s retirement as manager in 2013. <br \/>The Red Devils have not won the <!-- -->Premier League<!-- --> title since Ferguson&#8217;s final campaign in 2012\/2013 and have failed to win any trophy since 2017. <br \/>United currently sit fifth in the Premier League, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal. <br \/>&#8220;We will evaluate all options to ensure that we best serve our fans and that Manchester United maximizes the significant growth opportunities available to the club today and in the future,&#8221; added Avram and <!-- -->Joel Glazer<!-- -->, the club&#8217;s executive co-chairmen and directors. <br \/>The statement also recognised the need for investment in stadium redevelopment. <br \/>Old Trafford remains the largest club stadium in England with a capacity of 74,000 but has not had a significant upgrade since 2006. <br \/>Erik ten Hag is the fifth permanent manager at Old Trafford in the past nine years and his early months in charge have been dominated by debate over Ronaldo&#8217;s place in the team. <br \/>The five-time Ballon d&#8217;Or winner had been used sparingly by the former Ajax boss in the Premier League. <\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo

he felt &#8220;betrayed&#8221; by the club and had no respect for Ten Hag. <br \/>The Portugal captain, who is currently competing in his fifth World Cup, also took aim at the Glazers, claiming they &#8220;don&#8217;t care about the club&#8221;. <br \/>&#8220;Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutual agreement, with immediate effect,&#8221; United said in an earlier statement. <br \/>&#8220;The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future.&#8221; <br \/>News of the Glazers inviting investment comes just weeks after Liverpool&#8217;s American owners, the Fenway Sports Group, indicated they were willing to sell. <br \/>Both United and Liverpool were involved in the failed European Super League (ESL) project that sought to create a US-style closed league format for Europe&#8217;s elite clubs without the need to qualify or promotion and relegation. <br \/>Amid a furious backlash to the ESL, a match between United and Liverpool was abandoned in May 2021 after supporters stormed the pitch at a time when fans were shut out of stadiums due to coronavirus restrictions. <br \/>Protests against the Glazers have continued to be common on matchdays at Old Trafford despite huge spending on player transfer fees and wages, including on Ronaldo&#8217;s homecoming. <br \/>In May, Premier League rivals Chelsea were sold for \u00a32.5 billion ($3 billion), a record for a football club, to another American consortium led by Todd Boehly, with a further investment of \u00a31.75 billion promised on the playing squad and infrastructure. <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"
