It's been more than seven months since Manchester United owners the Glazers announced plans to 'explore strategic alternatives' for investment, paving the way for a protracted takeover process which still seems some way from completion.
The announcement from the current owners was met with widespread jubilation, following a controversial 18-year stint in charge, but there has been no communication from the board since. Developments have either come from the media or prospective new owners.
Boyhood United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe was the first to publicly announce his interest in a takeover, detailing his plans to 'put the Manchester back into Manchester United' and focus on Champions League success.
