Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville says the Glazer family need to "engage properly with the fans" about any new prospective owners of the club.
Their move follows years of protest from fans against their ownership.
"It's a big moment now," former England full-back Neville, who made 602 appearances in his 19 years at United, told Sky Sports.
"The Glazer family will never get a great exit from Manchester United, but they could have a more pleasant exit if they do it right.
"Over the next couple of months, I'd like to see them engage properly with the fans about who is going to take over the club.
