Crystal Palace co-owner Josh Harris has links with the American private equity firm Apollo, which is in exclusive talks to buy a stake in Manchester United

Crystal Palace co-owner Josh Harris has links to Apollo, the private equity firm in exclusive talks to purchase a minority stake in Manchester United.

Harris’ involvement in the US investment firm may raise possible conflict of interest issues amid stringent rules on team ownership in English football.

Tonight a source close to the businessman told Sportsmail that Harris was no longer at Apollo, a company he co-founded in 1990.

However, reports have indicated that while Harris has stepped down from the day-to-day running of the investment firm, news confirmed on the company’s website in May 2021, he still retains a shareholding in the company.
