A Manchester United fan group have written an open letter to the US private equity firm looking to buy shares in the club, warning them against a purchase.
Apollo have been in talks with the Red Devils owners, the Glazer family, over the prospect of buying a minority stake in the club.
Although sections of the Glazer family have been keen to sell their amid growing frustrations and protests from fans, co-owners Avram and Joe Glazer are unlikely to sell their shares and want to retain the day-to-day control of the Old Trafford outfit.
But despite the prospect of the Glazers, who have proven hugely unpopular among the United fanbase since their 2005 takeover, selling the club, United fans group BoycottGlazers have insisted the prospect of Apollo buying shares is not a welcome one.
