Yep, the so called Red Knights will probably end up rescuing them. While a our never ending list of teasing prospective billionaires courted will probably not end up investing.

The Glazers have said the club is not for sale incidentally, and as long as they are able to continue milking it dry why would they sell it?

The Red Knights - the supposed saviours of United - couldn't buy United without borrowing a huge amount. I suspect they're just tapping into a very receptive market...
