Manchester United are the latest Premier League club to be placed up for sale, following the Glazers' announcement that was made public on Tuesday evening.
Following suit as has been the case with both Liverpool and Chelsea in recent weeks, the United hierarchy has faced large-scale scrutiny over the last 12 months, with visible protests seen in and outside of Old Trafford. The Glazers are thought to value United at around £5billion.
But with the long drawn out process we saw with Newcastle United, it is not as easy as just shaking hands and passing over the keys to a top-flight football club. Premier League checks, proof of funds and fit and proper tests are all involved, so what does lay ahead for United 's next potential owners?
