Manchester United’s ownership situation remains in the air as the Glazers seek outside investment.
The Glazers recently revealed they were searching for investment opportunities, although it wasn’t made clear whether they want a full takeover or partial investment. In the meantime, formal interest has now been submitted by potential investors, including Britain’s richest man and United fan Jim Ratcliffe.
Fans will be excited by the news, especially with Ratcliffe being linked with a takeover over many years, previously holding talks about purchasing the club. With that in mind, we have rounded up the list of current Premier League owners to see where United, and indeed Leeds United - who could also get new owners - would rank among the richest clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham should the new owners take charge.
