The People:
Manchester United United insist they have no plans to ' form a franchise of the club to play in the American equivalent of the Premiership.
Despite being owned by Florida-based Malcolm Glazer - who calls the club a franchise - chief executive David Gill is adamant they won't be putting a team into Major League Soccer in the US.
Gill said: "America is a vast and interesting market and we have obvious links over there with Nike, Budweiser, Pepsi and now our new shirt sponsors.
"How we get involved out there is still to be worked out - but there's only one Manchester United and forming a franchise out there is not what we are looking at."
