Manchester United fans have hit out as it emerges the Glazer family are set to avoid a \u00a3100million tax bill from the sale of a stake to Sir Jim Ratcliffe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The owners are expected to avoid the bill after listing the club in the Cayman Islands, where there is no capital gains tax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ratcliffe\u2019s INEOS Group are in talks with the Glazer family to seal a \u00a31.3bn deal for 25 per cent of the club.<\/p>\n
The deal would hand the Glazers a profit of \u00a3510m, after they acquired the club for \u00a3790m in 2005.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A source linked to fan group The 1958 said: \u2018Making money is all they care about. This is yet another kick in the teeth for United fans. At a time when they are set to make an enormous profit on the back of the club, they also intend to avoid millions in tax.\u2019<\/p>\n

Everton\u2019s potential new owners 777 intend to use loans to fund their takeover \u2014 but insist these will not be put on the club and saddle it with more debt.<\/p>\n
Sources believe the US investment firm have been in discussions with several lenders, including A-Cap, to help fund the \u00a3500million deal.<\/p>\n
Sources close to 777 insist they will not raise money against Everton\u2019s assets \u2014 including the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium and future revenues \u2014 and instead look to take out loans raised against its non-football businesses.<\/p>\n
