Gary Neville has spoken out about the potential sales of Liverpool and Manchester United.
Fenway Sports Group (FSG) remain open to investment into the football club, following their initial statement in November. While it may not be the preferred option, a full sale could be on the cards if the $4bn-plus valuation is met.
A number of potential suitors have been linked to talks but sources in the US close to the situation have indicated to the ECHO that there have been no firm bids made to the FSG hierarchy as this stage.

On the subject of Manchester United, reports have emerged this week that there could be interest from Qatar in completing a full takeover of the Old Trafford club. Now Neville has given his view on the prospect of both Liverpool and United being sold in the coming months.
“Well that’s going to happen,” Neville told Sky Sports. “That’s going to happen at Manchester United and Liverpool, our two biggest clubs in the country are going to be sold in the next few months, it’s huge news.
“Obviously with what’s happening at this current moment in time, the regulator coming in, the news of Manchester City this week and the pressure on them, it is either going to be another US consortium, similar to the one that’s taken over at Chelsea, or it’s going to be a Middle Eastern group.
“You’re fancying Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai, they’ve all been mentioned, and I think to me it comes down to no debt, no dividends, commitment to rebuild the stadium, rebuild the area around the stadium, the training ground.
“Rebuild the first team - invest heavily in the team. Commitment to the fans and making sure that they’re involved and it’s affordable, all of those things are really important.
“And whoever comes in has to meet that commitment to pledges, the manifesto, that’s the most important thing, because the one thing we can never determine - us or anybody - is who the Glazers are going to sell to.
“They’re going to sell to the people that offer them the most money.”
