Richard Arnold, the United chief executive, was at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January where the club courted interest from potential sponsors. They previously owned AC Milan before selling the club to American investment group RedBird Capital last year.

Neither bid is understood to have met the reported £6 billion ($7.2 billion) asking price of the Glazers, who said in November they were considering selling the club.
