Sky News has exclusive knowledge that the Glazer family is getting ready to formally announce its intent to look into outside investment opportunities, which could include a full-blown auction of what is arguably the most famous football club in the entire world.

The disclosure of an assessment of financial options, which may include a selling process, would put an end to years of rumors about whether the Glazers might be convinced to sell a team that has suffered an almost continuous slide in football over the past ten years.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, United has not won the Premier League championship and has fired a string of managers.
