Manchester United<\/a> co-owner Avram Glazer is reportedly among the shortlisted parties interested in purchasing the Rajasthan Royals cricket franchise. The Indian Premier League side are into a second round of binding bids, before entering a period of exclusivity with one of its finalists.<\/p>\n

The Glazer family, through Avram\u2019s Lancer Capital, are among those pursuing the RR, but it\u2019s also reported that they could hold an interest in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise as well. Unlike the process with the RR takeover, the situation with the RCB is only at the non-binding stage, meaning bidders carry no obligation to complete a transaction.<\/p>\n

It comes after another of United\u2019s co-owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe<\/a>, launched an attack on the UK\u2019s immigration process, while calling out Prime Minister Keir Starmer<\/a> over his handling of the situation. Ratcliffe – whose tax residency is in Monaco – said: \u201cYou can’t have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in.<\/p>\n
