The architect of the Red Knights' attempt to prise control of Manchester United away from the Glazer family 12 years ago would consider putting a consortium together to try and buy the club now it's on the market.
But Gatley-born Lord Jim O'Neill, the former Goldman Sachs boss, would only get involved if the chances of success were strong and the Glazers lowered their 'unrealistic' demands.
United 's American owners released a statement on Tuesday night confirming they were open to new investment or a full sale of the club, but it is expected they will seek as much as £5billion to sell up.
