MELBOURNE - Australian club Central Coast Mariners on Tuesday dismissed a local media report that they had been in"lengthy discussions" with Manchester United about a potential takeover by the English Premier League side.
The Nine Network-owned Sydney Morning Herald said England-based Charlesworth had been in talks with United about buying the license of the Mariners and turning it into a sister club. "The chairman has held discussions with a number of clubs and interested parties across a number of years regarding the sale of the club," he said in a statement.
"Reports like this simply serve as a means of distraction from what is a positive season on the field, and the club will make no further comment on the matter."
