Manchester United's anti-Glazer faction says they will continue their protests.

The Glazer family confirmed they had no interest in doing a deal to offload the Old Trafford outfit, even if the offer price shoots beyond £1billion.

Their statement seemed to end any hope of the Red Knights consortium taking control, even though they are intent on making a bid for United and trying to reduce the huge debts incurred by the Glazer family takeover in 2005.

However, the Manchester United Supporters Trust, who launched the green and gold campaign at the start of the year, are refusing to buckle, insisting they will carry on their fight.

"The last time Manchester United was 'Not For Sale' was back in 2005 and what happened next - the Glazer family bought it," said MUST chairman Duncan Drasdo.

"It is clear from the reactions on the Manchester United message boards that supporters are not buying into the spin coming out through the Glazers' PR machine.

"If the club really isn't for sale why would they need to say anything at all? Why are they so concerned about telling everyone they don't want to sell? If they don't want to sell they can simply reject any offer. It sounds like the gentleman doth protest too much."
