United has been showing on the New York Stock Exchange made in 2012 when the Glazers dealt 10% of their holding through the listing and have sold over shares since.
The Raine Group is the financial adviser, and Latham & Watkins LLP is the adviser to Manchester United.
Rothschild and Co. act as financial advisers to the Glazer family shareholders.
