Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to be given a `carry on as normal' message from Malcolm Glazer if the American gains full control of the Reds.
Talk of a £20m transfer war chest every campaign for the Reds boss will not be the kind of `jackpot' sweetener that will appease United fans given that such a figure is loose change to Chelsea's Roman Abramovich.
But fears that the Yank tycoon may sweep through Old Trafford like a hurricane and dismantle the successful formula Fergie has cemented into the playing structure over the last decade could be wide of the mark.
In 1995 Glazer took control of ailing US gridiron side Tampa Bay Buccaneers and turned them into 2003 Super Bowl champions.
The way he gained the cash to turn a team of losers into winners is, of course, a major concern to United's followers but he did provide success.
Tampa Tribune soccer writer Bill Ward believes Glazer's influence may remain in the corridors of power and won't encroach into the dressing room.
"It is difficult to say exactly what he'll do because soccer is out of his field of expertise," Ward told M.E.N Sport.
"It's a foreign club and a foreign company he will be dealing with. He has no experience whatsoever with a soccer club.
"Obviously he does have experience of professional sports team because of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But this is like a first step on Mars for him.
"I am not sure whether all his focus has been on getting the deal done and not on what happens after it is his. He may or may not have a very detailed plan of action that is ready to go.
"Whether it will be implemented straight away or later I don't see him going into Manchester United and riding roughshod over everybody.
"First thing they may do and certainly should do is get Sir Alex Ferguson around a table and meet with him and the board and allay all their fears.
"This is a totally different scenario to what he came into with the Bucs," says Ward.
"For United it is should be a case of: `if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
"The Bucs were bottom of the basement when he came into the club. There was nowhere for them to go downwards. The only place he could really take them was up.
"But at United there aren't many places to go but down. I can understand United's fans fears because the debt is going to be very real and it is still mind boggling that he should have done this.
"Time will tell but on the evidence of what he did with the Buccaneers on the field maybe they shouldn't have grave concerns."
