This week the story of Manchester United's potential takeover took a new turn as long-time fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe entered the race.
The move comes after the Glazer family made it be known in November last year that they would consider a partial or full sale of the Premier League outfit.
The controversial owners bought the Old Trafford giants in a debt-funded takeover in 2005 and have since taken millions of pounds out of the club.
