Glazers to deliver bad news to Man Utd takeover bidders after 'reluctant to sell' admission

The two parties who have gone public with their interest in taking over at Manchester United could soon be told that their offers simply aren't enough.

The Telegraph report that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, the chairman of Qatari bank QIB, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Manchester-born billionaire who fronts the INEOS group, are set to be informed that neither of their bids meet what the Glazer family are looking for.

The value of both offers hasn't yet been released, but the report states that they are not close enough to the $5billion that the Glazers are seeking to sell the club which has been in their family's control since 2005.
