Having owned the Premier League giants outright for 17 years, many fans have been extremely vocal in their request for the club to be sold, with it now seemingly evident the US family has given in. With the news breaking on Tuesday, comparisons have already bene made with Liverpool's current situation regarding their owners, FSG.

Both Liverpool and United are currently owned by US businessmen, with the price for both clubs thought to be around the same region of £4-5bn.
