Welcome to this special two-part Talk of the Devils Extra, a detailed history of the controversial purchase and subsequent ownership of Manchester United by American investor Malcolm Glazer and his six children.
This first part will recount the events leading up to the Glazer takeover in 2005 with contributions from three key perspectives; fan activist Andy Walsh, former Labour Minister for Sport Richard Caborn, and United board member, economist Jim O'Neill.
In part two to follow 24 hours later we will bring the story up to the present day, analyse the relationship between the Glazers and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and try to forecast the future of United's ownership.
