Insights

Lindsell Train reports a material >5% stake in Manchester United.

The Manager and two principals disclose collective ownership of 4,376,500 Class A shares, equal to 7.80% of the class as of 09/30/2025. Ownership is held in separately managed accounts where the Manager has shared voting and dispositive power.

This position is material because holdings above 5.00% must be reported and can influence shareholder dynamics; the filing explicitly states the shares are held in the ordinary course and not intended to change control. Watch forthcoming filings for any shifts in percentage or statements that move from passive to active engagement over the next 30–90 days.

Shared voting power signals coordinated control through managed accounts.

The Manager reports shared voting power and shared dispositive power for all reported shares, while the named principals note significant membership interests in the Manager. This structure commonly means voting and disposition decisions flow through the investment manager rather than directly from the individuals.

Risks and dependencies include potential changes in manager discretion or account mandates that could alter voting behavior. Investors should monitor any subsequent Schedule 13 filings or proxy-related disclosures within the next quarter for changes in voting intentions or group formation.
