Manchester United fans are cranking up the pressure on the Glazer family to sell the club and end their 17 years in power at Old Trafford.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed that private equity firm Apollo are in talks with the Glazers over buying a minority stake in United.
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has also expressed his interest in mounting a takeover, fuelling hopes among United supporters that the club's despised American owners may finally decide to sell up.
It has given fresh impetus to anti-Glazer protests that will take place before Monday's game against Liverpool amid tight security around Old Trafford.
