US firm involved with Real Madrid and Barcelona 'eyes Man Utd stake' amid bidding war

US firm Sixth Street has indicated it may be ready to take a stake in Manchester United, just months after the club's owners revealed they were exploring the possibility of entertaining investors.

Current owners the Glazer family revealed in November that they were exploring strategic alternatives which could involve a full sale. Britain's richest man Jim Ratcliffe is among those preparing a bid for the club, with the Glazers holding out for more than £5bn.

Sixth Street have previously been involved in refinancing projects with both Real Madrid and Barcelona, taking a stake in the latter's LaLigaTV income in 2022. However, if the group ends up taking a minority stake rather than pushing for a full-on-takeover - as has been reported - it might not impact Ratcliffe's plans for a takeover.
