A number of powerful business people raised their hand after the Glazers asked if anyone would be interested in buying Manchester United this week.
On Tuesday, the owners explained how the board was “exploring strategic options” in regards to a sale with Avram Glazer adding a day later: “We're going to look at all different strategic alternatives and we'll see where that leads us.”
The Manchester Evening News revealed that both Zara founder Amancio Ortega and former Goldman Sachs boss Lord Jim O'Neill have registered an interest in a purchase. Elsewhere, there are rumours that David Beckham could back a potential bidder if he is convinced by their vision for the club.
