Man Utd’s potential new owners’ net worth compared to Liverpool owners and Premier League rivals - gallery

New ownership is becoming a common theme in the Premier League, with clubs being sold at an increasing rate in a bid to keep up with the amount of money required to run a club in the English top flight.

Even Liverpool’s current owners, FSG, are searching for fresh investment, even if they are not looking for an outright sale. The situation at Manchester United looks to be a little different, with bids already submitted to the Glazer family for the takeover of the club. Britain’s richest man, Jim Ratcliffe, and a Qatari investment group are among the reported frontrunners.

With that in mind, we have taken a look at the reported net worth of the two parties to see how they compare to Liverpool’s owners, and indeed the owners of the other Premier League clubs.

Take a look below as we count up from the lowest net worth to the highest.
