Manchester United is arguably the most popular franchise in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">Premier League<\/a> and has millions of fans now just in the UK but all over the world. The Glazer family is looking to sell the club to the highest bidder in a sale that will fetch them billions of pounds.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/todd-boehly-led-consortium-to-acquire-chelsea-fc-for-4-25bn\/\">Premier League club Chelsea was sold earlier this year<\/a>, it fetched a whopping \u00a32.5 billion (<em>club purchase only<\/em>). NFL franchise the Denver Broncos was also sold earlier this year for \u00a33.85 billion. Man United is expected to surpass these numbers as a number of billionaire investors and companies have already expressed interest in acquiring the club.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hSyYAc7JEfk?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Inc.
