US private equity investorsUS owners and companies buying stakes in Premier League clubs has been a big Talking Point in The Game and what The Future holds for it.
According to research by consultancy Deloitte, the US has been The Source of More Than two-thirds of investments in Europe's biggest leagues over The Past five years, with an " influx of private equity interest".
Steve Gans, a sports lawyer and partner at the Boston firm Prince Lobel, who also previously worked with Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group, says a lot of American private equity firms want to invest in International Football because " if they own other American Sports that are uniquely American, they feel like they have saturated the market".
" They see an unlimited market worldwide [with football]. The Premier League sells its TV [rights], it's 205 territories and countries around The World , that's an astounding market and these owners believe they can reach something that they can't reach with traditional American Sports , " he adds.

But more American investment might not be welcomed at Old Trafford , with club legend and commentator Gary Neville , saying in the summer that rumours of a part sale to.

When will a sale happen?In short, we don't know if The Club will actually end up being sold. The Glazers are considering multiple options, " including new investment into The Club , a sale, or other transactions involving the Company ".
Sports lawyer Mr Gan reckons one can never know what will happen in these situations, but highlights the fact United's owners have hired a major investment bank to handle the current situation " certainly suggests they are testing the waters".
" I think it's a Major Step but we can't know that it's going to result in a sale, " he adds.
