Gary Neville believes Erik ten Hag could be on a collision course with any prospective new owners in the transfer market if a Manchester United takeover comes to fruition.
The Glazer family, who purchased the club back in 2005, confirmed that they were putting United on the market in November and have authorised the Raine Group to oversee the process. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is heading up a group who are aiming to complete a full-scale buy-out, while INEOS chief and lifelong Manchester United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe has also tabled a bid for the club.
Both groups submitted proposals before February's soft deadline, however speculation has risen that the Glazers could decide to remain at the helm has grown in recent days after Avram Glazer attended Sunday's Carabao Cup final. Indeed, other potential investors are looking into the possibility of taking minority stakes.
