Irish billionaire and director of Celtic Dermot Desmond has
ruled out making a takeover bid for United. It has been
glaringly obvious that no such bid is planned since Magnier
and McManus cut Fergie out of the stud rights for Rock of
Gibraltar.

Dermot Desmond said when asked if he was planning a bid:
"Myself personally? No. I can't speak for anyone else. My
interest is in Celtic football club. My interest in
Manchester United is financial."
