The Glazer family, owners of Premier League side Manchester United, have insisted that they will not sell the hugely-profitable club at any cost, and according to the Telegraph, are considering offers to tour India in the coming year.
The Red Devils, who travel the world over as part of their pre-season preparations every summer, are discussing offers they have received to become the first Premier League team to tour India.
Reason to travel to the sub-continent would be strong, as reports suggest that they have a 20 million-strong fan base in the country. However, the harsh Indian summers have been a deterrent for the side in the past.
