It always seemed like wishful thinking, but Manchester United fans might soon get their ultimate wish of new owners. United's share price rose on Thursday in response to a Bloomberg story that said the Glazers were open to selling a minority stake in the club.
There are still conflicting reports about whether or not the American family would be open to selling up altogether, although financial sources believe they will have to eventually bring in an investor or sell to improve United's cash flow.
With fresh protests against their ownership planned for the home match against Liverpool on Monday night, it is clear that supporters' feelings are finally being felt on the other side of the Atlantic.
