    If there is still a Man Utd by that time, thanks to Glazer's imminent takeover. I'm sure the tour will go ahead, but the team may have changed.

    I'm pretty sure they're not going to risk their top players anyways ....

    Theres actually a rumour that Glazer may choose to sell Ronaldo, Giggs and Keane, rather than continue with their contract offers. I hope its just a rumour, but there will be a lot of unrest over the next couple of months without doubt. All we needed after this season's results! There has also been a plan in progress over the last 4-5 months on starting a break-away team of United, starting out in the non-leagues division. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer even said he would play for them. It has happened before, not so long ago i think with West Ham United.

    Thanks for the info.

    Well I am sure Glazier will want to continue the success of the team, however he has no interest in football unlike Abramovich who clearly loves his football....uncertain times ahead...will Fergie leave at the end of the season?

    He may be pushed! The problem here is that so many supporters don't like Glazer (including board members), so there may be some stand-offs and loss of revenue. In a perverse kind of way i would almost like to see Man Utd lose a bit of the glamour, to weed out the real supporters and the ones that joined the ride while they are winning.
