Manchester United are in talks to buy Indian Super League side East Bengal, according to Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly.
East Bengal are currently without investment after their association with Shree Cement Limited came to an end last month. The company handed over sporting rights, leaving the Kolkata club, who play in the country’s top flight, in a perilous position.
Ganguly holds the hugely influential title of president of Board of Control for Cricket in India. The 49-year-old was speaking at a press conference in Kolkata on Tuesday, where he was asked about possible investment in East Bengal, one of the city’s most historic clubs.
