Manchester United shows interest to buy a WIPL team after failing to acquire an IPL team

The owners of Manchester United, the Glazers family are interested to buy a team in the WIPL league. They even tried to buy a team in the Indian premiere league but failed. They are the owners of the Desert Vipers franchise in the ILT20 and desire to expand their business. They want to penetrate the Indian market by buying a team in WIPL.

Phil Oliver who’s the CEO of the ILT20 franchise said that he would love to take part in the auction for the WIPL franchise that is going to be held this January 25. IPL teams like Chennai Super Kings have bought the bid documents for the WIPL teams and the deadline to purchase ITT for WIPL is January 21.

“Just to draw the initial distinction, it was not Manchester United that was looking at an IPL team. The distinction is important.“- Oliver added

He’s interested in buying an IPL team but he didn’t reveal the information but expressed his interest to bring good cricket to the Indian audience. In 2022, BCCi in India issued ITT for the two new IPL teams namely Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. The Glazer family failed to win the bid to acquire a team.
