Finnish entrepreneur Thomas Zilliacus is set to submit a bid for Manchester United that will see fan ownership introduced - allowing them equal say via an app.
The Glazers are currently open to potential sale options, which could yet involve a minority investor, with interest so far coming from Britain's richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and Qatari businessman, Sheikh Jassim. Following Wednesday's deadline, both have been granted an extension to submit their second bid...but now a new bidder has now come to the table.
Zilliacus had made his fortunes through novaM Group, a new social media group, and is ready to submit his offer through XXI Century Capital, an investment firm owned by his holding company. The Finn's unique bid comes via his fan involvement, which will be hugely appealing to supporters.
