Manchester United’s potential new owners and January transfer stance

It’s been quite a 24 hours for Manchester United fans. Not long after Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit from the club was confirmed, news broke that the Glazers were seeking options about a potential sale.

And, after lengthy and persistent protests over the past 17 years, it’s this that United fans are talking about the most. The two names currently in the picture for a potential takeover are Ineos billionaire chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe and former Goldman Sachs boss Lord Jim O'Neill.

Ratcliffe - who owns French outfit Nice - could reportedly be set to bid for the club, which the Glazers valuing at around £5billion after buying the Reds for £790m in 2005. However, it’s not the only topic supporters are taking a keen interest in.
