Manchester United in search of a new owner: The Glazer family, who have been managing the club since 2005, announced last fall that they were beginning to consider "strategic alternatives" for development. For Manchester United, this means two things: either attracting additional investment, or a complete sale of assets. Now everything is moving towards the second option - applications are already being collected for the purchase of club shares, the selection and consideration of which is carried out by the same investment bank that participated in the takeover of Chelsea by Todd Bowley's concern. So far, RainGroup has received the only official application - billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who has been a fan of Manchester United since childhood, has entered the fight for the club (which did not stop him from trying to acquire Chelsea and Newcastle).
