Manchester United are bringing forward plans to float on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Daily Mail says United could be listed as early as next week in an attempt to raise £64million to help reduce the club's huge debts.

The club will sell shares to Wall Street investors but the flotation would leave the Glazer family in charge: the billionaire investors bought the club in 2005 for £940million taking on debt of £423million.

United - valued by Forbes magazine at £1.43billion, making it the most valuable club in world football.
