Who is Thomas Zilliacus? Man Utd's latest bidder, mysterious net worth and full statement

Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus has entered the race to buy Manchester United, with a unique proposition to put fans at the heart of the bid.

Zilliacus is a resident of Singapore and has previous experience of owning a football club in his homeland, though that was in the 1980s. The 69-year-old is going up against Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani to buy-out the Glazers.

The deadline for second bids passed yesterday, though there is confusion about whether that deadline has been extended. Here Mirror Football takes a closer look at the latest man to throw his hat in the ring as a potential owner.
