'No thank you! This doesn't work for Man United!': Gary Neville issues sharp retort to American financial group Carlyle after their pitch to take minority stake in the Red Devils

An American financial group is reported to be in talks over a major investment in Manchester United — and has been told to butt out by Gary Neville.

Private equity firm Carlyle, which manages one of the largest mega-funds in the world, worth more than £300billion, is pitching to take a minority stake in the club.

But Neville, alongside a screenshot of the firm’s mission statement, tweeted: ‘No thank you! This doesn’t work for United! The Glazer PR machine keeps leaking this type of minority partnership out there bi-weekly whilst stressing it’s a confidential process.
