Aussies have been cheering after news that Manchester United has secured a $3.8 billion takeover by a consortium led by US-based investment firm the Glazer family. The news was welcomed by Australian fans, with many expressing their delight at the potential for the club to return to its former glory. Supporters also took to social media to share their excitement, with some tweeting they were "over the moon" and "ecstatic" with the news. The takeover will see the Glazers become the majority owners of the club, with current owners, the American billionaire Joel and Avram Glazer, taking control of the club from existing owners, the US-based family of billionaires, the Edwards family. The Glazers' purchase of the club is likely to be seen as a positive move for supporters, with the family promising to invest heavily in the club and to bring back a winning mentality.
