The Manchester United takeover process is now in its seventh month and it is still not clear who is likely to take charge at Old Trafford.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani are the frontrunners having both tabled multiple bids since declaring their interest earlier this year.
Sheikh Jassim wants 100 per cent of the club and has pledged to wipe the debt and revamp facilities through his Nine Two Foundation. He set a self-imposed deadline of Friday although last Wednesday’s fifth bid still stands.
