The potential sale of Manchester United is that bit closer after the deadline for bidding passed on Friday night with two interested parties officially coming forward.
The Red Devils have been American-owned for the best part of two decades - with that time period largely split into two halves. Fans have long had an issue with those at the top of the club, who managed to secure their ownership due to a leveraged buyout. However for long periods the success led by Sir Alex Ferguson covered the cracks.
His departure in 2013 has seen many of the issues highlighted however. The absence of the Glazers is an issue, whilst they've handed the day-to-day running of the club to individuals who, largely, lacked the experience to do so - namely Ed Woodward.
