Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold has stressed any new investor into the club will be urged to work closely with supporters.
The Glazer family, who bought United for £790million back in 2005, put the Old Trafford club on the market last month. Mirror Football understands the family is looking for as much as £8billion to sell - a fee that eclipses the £2.5bn Todd Boehly paid for Chelsea. Arnold has outlined his hope that new investment would represent a “positive” step forward for the club.
Britain’s richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is a United fan, has been linked with an offer and has previously received calls from the club’s fanbase and ex-United director Michael Knighton to get involved in a takeover, but he poured cold water on the suggestion earlier this year.
