Manchester United has said it was commencing a process to explore strategic alternatives, including a new investment or a potential sale, 17 years after the American Glazer family bought the English Premier League soccer club. The last silverware they won was the Europa League and League Cup back in 2017. Wealthy Asian tycoons, especially those from China, have been buying European teams in recent years including Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers and Italy’s Inter Milan. Manchester United shares jumped as much as 20% after Sky News first reported on the sale process, giving the club a market capitalization of $2.6 billion. The Glazers bought the club for 790 million pounds ($939.07 million) in 2005 in a highly leveraged deal which has been criticized for loading debt onto the club.

-Participă 20 de cluburi: 15 echipe fondatoare şi 5 cluburi care vor putea intra în Super Ligă pe baza performanţelor din sezonul precedent. Cluburile participante în Super Ligă vor continua să concureze şi în campionatele lor. Echipele vor fi împărţite în două grupe a câte 10 echipe, care vor juca între ele tur-retur. Cele 12 cluburi care au înfiinţat Super Liga sunt nemulţumite de veniturile pe care le asigură UEFA şi sunt încrezătoare că Super Liga va reuşi să genereze sume mult mai mari. Pentru mine, Liga Campionilor este Super Liga în care nu ajungi să joci mereu contra aceloraşi echipe.
