Premier League giants Manchester United seem as though they are set for life without the Glazer family as their owners after years of protest from their supporters. The current regime revealed last week that they are exploring alternative options within their strategy for the operation of the club, including a full sale.
Unlike Chelsea's takeover from Boehly-Clearlake earlier this year, there's no strict timeframe over when a deal must be conducted for a full takeover. That's because of the Blues' unique situation in which their previous owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
They were given a sporting licence by the government to be able to continue operation, but Raine Group - an American bank in charge of the transaction - were given a time limit to get a completed deal over the line. While that won't be the case here, it will actually be Raine who oversee any sale after being appointed as advisors.
