AMBITIOUS Finnish businessman Zilliacus

- BY BEN CRAWFORD

FORMER Manchester United bidder Thomas Zilliacus revealed he is planning to approach investors in a bid to buy the club.

Finnish entrepreneur Zilliacus led one of many parties that submitted bids for the club in 2023 with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos going on to purchase a nearly 30 per cent stake.

But Zilliacus is still interested and is keen on purchasing a share in United or the club in its entirety.

United's value stands at £2billion though the Glazers would want more than £5b to sell their stake.
