The wealth of Man Utd’s possible new owners - compared to Newcastle United, Man City & Chelsea - gallery
Manchester United are up for sale after years of unrest under the Glazers.
Manchester United are in the hunt for new owners following the Glazers’ decision to put the club up for sale. Fans have protested about the ownership over recent years and have been unhappy with their performance of the club in general.
It is no secret that the Red Devils have generally struggled to live up to the heights they reached under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson. A large number of both players and managers have come in and out since his departure and it is currently Erik ten Hag’s task to get them back to the top.
United have been linked with a few ownership options, such as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Apple, and it will be interesting to see how their net worths match those of their Premier League rivals. Here is a look...
