Michael Knighton said 'there will always be trolls and naysayers' as he thanked fans for their messages after vowing to bid to buy Manchester United.
Knighton, who attempted to complete a takeover of United in 1989, claimed this week that he has drawn up a fresh bid to buy the club from the Glazer family with the support of a consortium. The Glazers are under increasing pressure to sell United and a sizeable protest was held against them ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener against Brighton at Old Trafford.
Supporters have been left hugely disappointed with United's recruitment this summer and the club's recent plan to try and bring former Stoke City and West Ham United striker Marko Arnautovic to Old Trafford received an angry backlash, only increasing calls for the Glazers to sell up.
