Thomas Zilliacus has revealed that Manchester United fans could have a say on decisions about club dividends should he win the takeover race.
The Finnish businessman told the Manchester Evening News on Friday that his bid is “on the same level” as those from Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and announced on Saturday morning that he had increased his offer.
His bid, made through XXI Century Capital - an investment firm owned by his holding company, proposes that he buys 50 per cent of United while club supporters own the other half, with fans being able to vote on many key decisions through an app.
