Manchester United Supporters Trust welcome Glazers' decision to sell the club - but warn any new owners they 'must be willing to invest to restore former glories' after 17 years of decline

Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) have welcomed the news that the Glazer family are finally ready to sell the club after 17 years of ownership – but have sent out a warning to any potential new owners that they must be ready to invest.

The unpopular American owners - who have faced significant fan opposition during their tenure - sensationally announced on Tuesday that they would be willing to sell the club after 17 years in charge.

In a statement the club said the board of directors were starting a process 'designed to enhance the club's future growth' with the intention of maximising opportunities on and off the pitch.
