The Glazer family are willing to listen to offers in the region of £3.75billion for Manchester United, according to reports.
This will be music to the ears of the majority of United fans.
Supporters have often displayed their discontent at the club’s ownership through protests outside and inside Old Trafford.

“I was a strong-willed footballer, sometimes referred to as Red Nev.
“I was the union rep and had some basic business understanding at that young age. I was willing to take on the FA and threaten a strike.
