The owners of a Cheshire golf club say they are not in talks with Manchester United about the sale of the facility.
A recent report from The Daily Mail claimed United had been looking to buy land for a new state-of-the-art training ground, with the High Legh Park Golf Club supposedly considered. The report said 'preliminary talks' had taken place about the purchase of the High Legh club, but an 'agreement hadn't been reached'.
Now a spokesperson for owners American Golf, has told The Chester Standard: “No conversations between High Legh Park Golf Club and Manchester United are currently taking place."

United are supposedly looking to buy a site in excess of 100 acres if they are to sanction a move away from their famous Carrington training complex.
High Legh Park would tick a lot of those boxes, given it is currently home to an 18-hole championship course, a nine-hole course, a 24-bay floodlit driving range, a retail store, a clubhouse bar and a restaurant. The golf course was built by Warrington-based American Golf in 2021 and was reportedly put up for sale last year.
