Manchester United is known around the world but the club has faced tough times in recent years with fans deeply unhappy with its owners. But could that be about to change?
Earlier this month, we found out the British billionaire entrepreneur Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani had officially submitted bids for the Premier League club.
On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood takes a closer look at the two men vying to get their hands on Man Utd with our sports correspondent Rob Harris. Plus, we look at the power of money in football and its importance in the sport and for local communities with Keith Harris - a former chairman of the Football League, football financier and Man Utd fan.
