This will be a mistake. I estimate one out of every three Indian football fans is a Manchester United supporter. Man U need a sponsor after AIG pulled out. Also, Man U is a global club. Liverpool is more Brit than London and Indians will never be welcome there.
Before buying any club, we should first learn to breed our own in the game.
