MUST reacted to the news that Britain's richest man Jim Ratcliffe was open to buying a stake at Manchester United. 

They took to social media to express the urgency of the matter as well as their requirements for any candidates to be taken seriously.

"Speculation is mounting about a potential change of ownership or new investors at Manchester United. Whilst supporters have called for change, of course, this has to be the right change," MUST said in a statement on Twitter.

"Any prospective new owner or investor has to be committed to the culture, ethos and best traditions of the club. They have to be willing to invest to restore United to former glories, and that investment must be real new money spent on the playing side and the stadium."

''A new ownership structure must embed supporters and include fan share ownership,'' the group added.

United have lost both their league games under new boss Erik ten Hag and host bitter rivals, Liverpool, on Monday.
