MANU

Manchester United PLC (NYSE:MANU) is in focus today, after the New York Times reported that Qatar's Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani made an improved final offer to buy the football club. The offer is now nearing 5 billion pounds (or $6.31 billion).

Manchester United stock is up 1.5% to trade at $19.25 at last glance. The shares have been seeing pressure from their 20-day moving average for a little over a month, with the equity currently down 17.1% year-to-date.

The two analysts in coverage are split on MANU, with one carrying a "strong buy" and one a tepid "hold." It's worth noting that short interest represents 6.3% of the stock's available float.

Now could be a good time to weigh in on the security with options. According to the stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) reading of 89 out of 100, it tends to outperform volatility expectations.
