Manchester United could follow the lead of Liverpool and seek a minority partner as opposed to a full sale after a new name arrived at the table for talks.
Just days after Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group had opened themselves up to minority investment and also a potential outright sale back in November, Manchester United owners, the Glazer family, put the Red Devils on the market.
That move, something which made the FSG search more complex due to two major assets being in play at the same time, has seen a number of interested parties show their hand in recent weeks, with head of the Qatar Islamic Bank, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani, and British billionaire and founder of chemical giant INEOS, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the two most prominent names.
