Jim O'Neill could be set for a second bite at the cherry in his pursuit of becoming Manchester United owner after the Glazer family confirmed they were open to selling the club.
After 17 years of ownership of United, the Glazer family released a statement on Tuesday evening confirming that they would be willing to sell their shares in the club.
Fans were overjoyed at the news after years of the owners failing to properly invest in the club's playing squad and infrastructure. Jim O'Neill, who declared his interest to the Manchester Evening News on Wednesday, could be the man to finally bring the Glazer reign to an end. But who is O'Neill and why would he be tempted to bid?
