The minority investors in Manchester United are said to be praying for the Glazers to sanction a full sale of the club.
The takeover process is continuing to drag on, with Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani battling Sir Jim Ratcliffe for a buy-out. The duo are the leading contenders to fully take over from the Glazers, who have been in control at Old Trafford for 18 years.
The American family have employed the Raine Group, who dealt with the sale of Chelsea, to oversee the process. But their shares are not the only ones to consider, with 31 per cent of the stakes in the Red Devils being owned by other parties.
