US billionaire Stephen Pagliuca outlines investment stance amid Manchester United takeover talk

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca says he is 'assessing opportunities' in the Premier League after previously refusing to rule out a move for Manchester United.

The US billionaire refrained from denying a potential interest in United when asked about entering the buy-out race in March.

He had considered a move for Liverpool prior to Fenways Sports Groups’ takeover in 2010. There seems to be little movement regarding a conclusion to the takeover process at United eight months after November’s sale announcement.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani are frontrunners but there are fears the Glazers could decide to stay, despite multiple rounds of bidding.
