Manchester United Supporters' Trust have written an open letter to any potential buyers of the club following the Glazer family's announcement that they're willing to sell Manchester United.
MEN Sport understands that a number of suitors have made their interest in United known, with Zara founder Amancio Ortega among them. Any deal for the club will reportedly cost over £5bn.
Ahead of any official bids being made, Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) have released an open letter to any potential buyers outlining what they believe anyone wanting to buy their club should consider.

They began the letter by stating: "To any bidder for Manchester United Football Club. We, the undersigned, represent Manchester United fans from all backgrounds and walks of life.
"We understand very well why you wish to buy the club. We believe Manchester United is the greatest sporting institution in the world and hope we will have a new owner that will nurture, invest and, most of all, recognise that their role as the steward of Manchester United is to run the club in partnership with the supporters, in a way which recognises that a football club is far more than just a commercial asset.
"As you contemplate the nature of any offer you may wish to make to the present owners, we believe it may be helpful to you to understand what supporters want from any new owner, in order to secure the support of the fans. The principles below are based on our longstanding principles established over two decades as the Supporters Trust and regular open consultation with our fans."
The letter outlines how the finances of the club should be handled with MUST wanting proper investment, how the club should be governed, and also a commitment to keeping the soul of the club alive.
The letter also makes clear that the fans do not want United to enter a European Super League, as the Glazers tried to do during the 2020/21 season, with MUST also demanding match tickets are kept at an affordable price.
