Manchester United's takeover saga has entered its seventh month, as fans grow impatient over the club's potential sale.
Another anti-Glazer protest took place ahead of the Red Devils' hard-fought 1-0 win at home to Aston Villa on Sunday, with speculation mounting that the American family may only elect to sell a minority stake in the club. Executive co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer are keen to stick around if no one meets their £6billion asking price, and that's perhaps why Sir Jim Ratcliffe has tabled a proposal which would keep the brothers involved, albeit through a shrunken share.
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, on the other hand, remains steadfast in his desire to complete a 100 per cent, debt-free takeover. Meanwhile, manager Erik ten Hag is attempting to press on with his plans for a huge summer transfer window, but the Dutchman faces a number of potential hurdles in his bid to bring United back to the top of world football - under a new regime or not.
