Gary Neville has branded reports linking Manchester United with Apollo Global Management as 'totally unacceptable'.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe expressed his desire to buy United for the first time in public this week but reports soon emerged elsewhere claiming the Glazers had already entered exclusive talks with US private equity firm Apollo for a minority stake at the club.
Apollo is an American equity firm solely exists to make a profit and they would demand a return on their investment should they acquire a minority stake at Old Trafford. United fans have already spoken out against Apollo with anger on social media.
