Zilliacus was one of several individuals who submitted bids for Manchester United in 2023, but it was Sir Jim Ratcliffe who ultimately purchased a nearly 30% stake and took control of the club's football operations.

In a recent interview, Zilliacus discussed his plans to invest in Manchester United or potentially collaborate with other investors to take over the club.

"I've been thinking about investing in Manchester United and drafting a plan to see if it's possible," Zilliacus said.

"My goal is to bring Manchester United back to its former glory as the top club in the world," he added.

Zilliacus emphasized the importance of finding investors who prioritize the club's best interests over their own.

"You need to find investors who are willing to look at what's best for the club, not just what's best for the investor," he said.

Zilliacus' potential investment has sparked debate among Manchester United fans, with some expressing excitement at the possibility of a new investor taking the club forward.

However, others have expressed skepticism, citing concerns about the club's current ownership and the potential impact of a new investor on the team's performance.
