Sir Jim Ratcliffe may not have been best pleased to hear that Manchester United have appointed the Raine Group as the club's exclusive financial advisor, after he failed with his 11th hour bid for a potential takeover of Chelsea FC under their watch.
In a statement from United on Tuesday night, United fans at long last heard the news they have been hoping to hear for 17 years. The club was up for sale.
The chants of ' Glazers Out' have been a constant backdrop to United games before the World Cup break, with no sign of the fan unrest over the American owners disappearing anytime soon. The supporters had been keen to ensure that the club's signing of Antony from Ajax this summer did not distract from the wider problems they've faced.
