Manchester United bidder Thomas Zilliacus has slammed the Glazers for prolonging takeover talks, suggesting that the controversial siblings are operating an ‘unprofessional’ course of. Interested events are ready on a ultimate resolution from the Glazers over whose bid for the Premier League outfit will probably be profitable.
