Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus says his bid for Manchester United is “on the same level” as the ones tabled by Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The entrepreneur has told MEN Sport that he submitted a formal bid on Friday, a proposal which would see him own 50 per cent of the club with Reds fans owning the other half. Zilliacus, head of social media business novaM Group, says supporters from all over the world who invest would be able to have their say on many key club decisions through an app.
The bid is being funded by XXI Century Capital, an investment firm owned by his holding company. The Manchester Evening News understands that the firm comprises of investors from Europe, Asia and America.
