Glazer may buy control of Man U Associated Press

LONDON - Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer may try to buy control of English soccer champion Manchester United. Glazer increased his stake in the club to 16.31 percent last Thursday.

In a statement to the London Stock Exchange Monday, the Malcolm I. Glazer Family Partnership said it was a ``longtime and enthusiastic supporter of Manchester United.''

``As with any investment, it is considering its possible options, which may include increasing its shareholding or decreasing its shareholding in Manchester United,'' the partnership said. ``It could also include a possible offer for or a possible sale of its shareholding in Manchester United.''

Glazer has been steadily increasing his stake in the English club since October. The team currently has a market value of $1.38 billion.

Irish racing owners JP. McManus and John Magnier own 29 percent of the team.

The Irish dou of McManus and Magnier I belive are trying to do the same thing. They have steadily increased their percentage in the team over the last year. It could be interesting if either of them ever get 51% of the team.
