Gary Neville believes it would take an astronomical offer for the Glazer family to even consider selling Manchester United .
The Americans have held majority ownership at the club since 2005, much to the protest of a faction of United fans.
And when quizzed on Twitter whether he thought the Glazers would be selling up anytime soon, Neville was unequivocal in his response.
"Nope not for one minute without an off the scale offer above the level it's valued!" Neville said.
The ex-United defender is co-owner of League Two club Salford City, along with fellow former United players Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and brother Phil.
He along with the 'Class of '92' as they are dubbed, have helped mastermind a meteoric rise in Salford's fortunes, overseeing four promotions in five years.
Neville's response had come after one fan questioned if the Class of '92 had ever considered buying United.
"Hi mate it’s valued at 3.5bn ( not that the current owners would sell! )," Neville replied. "So Saudi Arabia , China , Russia et al will be the next owners of the club."
Father of the Glazer family, Malcolm, passed away in 2014, leaving control of United's affairs mainly to sons Joel and Avram.
But the initial takeover has left deep wounds with sound of the United faithful.
In order to complete the acquisition - thought to cost around £800m, the Glazer family took out large loans which were secured against the clubs assets.
As a result, United took on huge debts despite having been debt-free for so many years prior.
This caused many fans to protest, with a small group breaking off to create new club F.C. United of Manchester, who now play in the Northern Premier League after being relegated from the National League North last season.
Portions of Man Utd's stock has since been floated on the New York stock exchange, with club debts still totalling around £307 million back in 2013.
