Manchester United owners the Glazer family could yet follow the path of Fenway Sports Group and Liverpool in seeking minority investment.
The Old Trafford side have been on the market since November last year, the Glazers putting the club up for sale just days after it emerged that FSG were considering selling all or part of their stake in the Reds.
Since then FSG principal owner John W. Henry has come out to state that a sale of Liverpool is not on the agenda for FSG, telling the ECHO in an exclusive interview earlier that the Reds’ US owners were “more committed than ever” to the club moving forward and that the focus was on securing a minority investment in the club.
