Summary

What a day! Just when you thought things might be a bit quieter with the World Cup fully underway in Qatar we get, not one United bombshell, but two huge stories.

First, news of Ronaldo's immediate release after the club and player reached a mutually exclusive agreement. Ordinarily, that would be the story of the month, but just a couple of hours later it became apparent that the Glazer family have instructed banks to seek out new investment avenues. Could that mean a sale? It certainly looks like it.

Produced by Ollie Bellwood.

0:00.0	Hi, we're Jessie and Lenny from our podcast Table Manners and we're currently sponsored by Netflix.
0:04.6	There's nothing better than watching a fascinating real story. I agree. And if you listeners
0:10.0	are interested in unbelievable true stories, then Netflix has a treat for you this month.

0:52.0	Well, yeah, I lied.
0:53.4	And that's because Christiana Ronaldo is leaving Manchester United and the athletic are also
0:58.8	reporting that the club is up for sale. Wow! Just when I thought it was safe to
1:04.4	book my first trip abroad for three years on the first day, this happens. So I
1:10.0	think it's best of a handover to Cal Anka and the boys.
1:12.8	Take it away. One more cruise camp-hole, please.
1:23.4	Thanks, Ian, mate. And just when you thought Leonel Messi losing to Saudi Arabia would be the biggest new story.
1:29.5	Of the day, we get a whole bunch of Manchester United stuff. And just when you thought,
1:34.6	Cristiano Ronaldo, being a free agent, was going to be the biggest new story today, we get a much bigger one involving the glazers, possibly being open to studying Manchester United? The wording is quite precise here.
