Crystal Palace co-owner Josh Harris has an involvement in private equity firm Apollo, who are in exclusive talks to purchase a minority stake in Manchester United.
It remains to be seen whether the businessman’s links to the Selhurst Park club would breach English football’s laws on team ownership should Apollo’s attempts to strike a deal to buy shares in the Old Trafford club accelerate.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed on Wednesday night that the US company are in discussions with the Glazer family about securing a minority shareholding at United - although any deal to sell a stake to Apollo is not expected to be concluded until next month at the earliest.
