Manchester United s owners, the Glazer family, could be set to sell their stake in the club amid reports of a $US1 billion floatation.
The American owners are reportedly preparing an initial public offering for up to 25 percent of the club by the end of the year, depending on market conditions.
However, senior Manchester United figures have told Goal.com that the Glazers are set to float the English Premier League club on the Singapore stock exchange and sell their entire stake, which they bought for 790 million pounds in a leveraged buyout in May 2005.
The Qatari government has previously been credited with an interest in buying United, but the Glazers reported 1.7 billion-pound valuation is said to have been too prohibitive.

Spanish La Liga high-flyers Valencia have moved to confirm reports linking them with a January move for Benfica star Enzo Perez.
The Argentine midfielder is believed to be the primary target for los Che in the upcoming transfer window even if he will not be available on the cheap.
And club sporting director Francisco Rufete has now all but admitted that Valencia will attempt to lure Perez to Mestalla in January.

The 28-year-old joined the Eagles from Estudiantes in the summer of 2011…
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart said he is hoping to erase some painful memories when his side travel to the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid next week.
Hart was slammed by then-City manager Roberto Mancini the last time he travelled to the Bernabeu for openly criticising his team-mates as they let a 2-1 lead slip to a 3-2 loss in September 2012.
The stakes were high that night, despite being a group stage fixture, but not as high as they will be on Wednesday.
We ve learned a lot since that night, he said. It was a tough game. It was certainly a busy one for me, especially.
I think [Cristiano] Ronaldo and Benzema scored their last goals and as disappointing as it was, both goals were avoid…

According to a recent report from Goal, Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in the possibility of signing Rafael Camacho from Liverpool. The 18 year old has been with the Reds since joining their youth setup back in 2016, and made his professional debut for the Reds earlier this year. The teenage sensation is widely considered to be one of the best teenage prospects Portugal has seen in quite some time, which is why he was so highly thought of by Sporting Lisbon – his hometown club. Camacho, who made the move from Manchester City to Anfield, has just one year left on his deal at the club. Because of the strength in depth currently on display at Liverpool, many fans have questioned whether or not he’d be better off finding a new home.
If he does end up making the switch t…
Lionel Messi linking up with the Argentina squad while not fully fit does not make sense , according to Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo.
The 34-year-old has endured an injury-plagued start to his PSG career since arriving on a shock free transfer three months ago after leaving Barcelona.
After sitting out last week s draw with RB Leipzig and win over Bordeaux with knee and hamstring injuries, Messi has now featured in just eight of PSG s 18 matches this season.
Despite his niggling injury issues in recent months, Messi has been included in Argentina s squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil over the next eight days.
PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday he is happy for his compatriot to play for La Albiceleste …

The reigning champions and runaway leaders bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Lyon at the start of the month by beating Bordeaux 1-0 last weekend, however, Thomas Tuchel s team were short of their best once more at Stade Geoffroy Guichard.
Mbappe dazzled in the 2-0 Champions League win over Manchester United on Tuesday but found the going tougher in a line-up without the considerable talents of Neymar, Edinson Cavani, Marco Verratti and Thomas Meunier.
Yet he settled matters with aplomb in the 73rd minute, swivelling to guide Dani Alves s lofted pass into the top corner on the volley to score his 19th league goal of the season.
It was the act of …

Hoping to find a route into the Champions League spots on Wednesday night, Eintracht Frankfurt will welcome Hoffenheim to Deutsche Bank Park.
Starting with the hosts, while Eintracht Frankfurt might have endured somewhat of an inconsistent start to the 2022/23 campaign, the Eagles now find themselves enjoying what has been a stellar run of form. Mounting a stunning comeback away at Sporting Lisbon earlier in the month as they secured a 2-1 win and booked their spot in the knockout stage of this year s Champions League, Oliver Glasner s side should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Likewise, last seen over the weekend picking up another 2-1 victory away at Augsburg, Frankfurt have now won six of their previous sev…
Manchester United will be in the market for a new right-back when the January transfer window opens, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Though Diogo Dalot is playing at a fantastic level this season and manager Erik ten Hag is obviously happy with the Portugal international, the Dutch tactician believes another player in the position is needed to provide quality cover or even competition for the role in the starting XI. There doesn t seem to be room for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in his plans anymore, and the fate of the former Crystal Palace defender will be decided soon. There have been reports about Palace s interest in re-signing the 24-year-old.
One of the options considered by the 20-time English champions was to try and sign Sergino Dest, currently on loan at AC Milan from Bar…
