Manchester United are the latest Premier League club to be placed up for sale with the Glazers decision to seek new investment following the recent takeover of Chelsea and the news of Fenway Sports Group being open to selling up at Liverpool.

Many names have been thrown into the hat about who could take the reins at Old Trafford, but what can we learn from Todd Boehly and Co?
