More join MUFC bid

The plan by the ‘Red Knights’, a group of City financiers, to buy Premiership champions Manchester United is gaining support.

And its not from Ocean Finance.

The number of financiers backing the move has grown from 40 to 60, according to press reports, with the amount pledged to the war chest now up to £1.5bn from £1bn earlier this week.

The Glazer family, the owners of Manchester United, have insisted that the club is not for sale and United chief executive David Gill has indicated they are in no mood to even listen to bids.
