Manchester United's next owners could divide the fanbase even more than the Glazers

No, you're not dreaming. Manchester United really are up for sale. After 17 years of Glazer ownership, the most famous club in world football is on the market again and will listen to offers of fresh investment after years of mediocracy and failure.

The cautious word is that it could still just be a partial sale, a slight relinquishment of power in order to finance the long-overdue renovations needed for infrastructure at both Old Trafford and the training ground.

That hasn't stopped United fans from dreaming of a proper power shift, though, and it certainly makes a lot of sense for the Glazer family to cash in now and make a huge profit from their leveraged buyout of the club that should never have been allowed in the first place.
