Following the government's decision to freeze all of Roman Abramovich's UK assets, Manchester United could look to benefit from the situation.
Chelsea Football Club are now in a very difficult situation. The club can still be sold, but only as long as it does not benefit Abramovich or any other sanctioned individual and a new licence would have to be issued by the government.
A statement from the UK government reads: "While the current licence does not permit the sale of the club at this time, the Government is open to a sale of the club and would consider an application for a new licence to allow for a sale.
