England's two biggest clubs could change hands in the coming months with both Liverpool and Manchester United on the market.
The duo have been American-owned for more than a decade, but their respective owners are now weighing up whether it is best to cash their chips and move on. It means two of football's - not just England's - most lucrative assets are up for sale.
Manchester City, then not a powerhouse, were purchased in 2008, Newcastle were bought last year with Chelsea's £4bn plus sale going through in the summer and seeing several ears prick up as they set a new benchmark for the value of a leading football club. Liverpool and United would represent a different ball game however such is their history, prestige and commercial pull.
