The move has beenSo who might be interested in buying the club?One of the UK's richest men, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is one of a few names to regularly be mentioned when it comes to a potential takeover of Manchester United.with a spokesman for him saying: "If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer."

The Lancashire-born businessman would be the fans' choice, according to football finance expert and author Kieran Maguire.But Sir Jim has not commented or signalled his intentions following the Glazers' announcement on Tuesday and Mr Maguire says the Ineos founder is "less likely" to pay over the odds for the club.Lord O'Neill led the so-called Red Knights group of investors that tried to buy the club back in 2010.

US owners and companies buying stakes in Premier League clubs has been a big talking point in the game and what the future holds for it. "They see an unlimited market worldwide [with football]. The Premier League sells its TV [rights], it's 205 territories and countries around the world, that's an astounding market and these owners believe they can reach something that they can't reach with traditional American sports," he adds.

Manchester United's rivals Manchester City are owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, while Newcastle United have recently been taken over by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
