Man Utd news: Sheikh Jassim ups takeover bid as Sir Jim Ratcliffe given boardroom boost

With Wednesday's deadline fast approaching, all eyes at Manchester United are on the club's potential takeover.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the third stage of the sale process, as the Glazers brace themselves for up to eight fresh bids before the clock ticks to 9pm. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani still the favourites if the American family opt to completely walk away from Old Trafford, although there's still the possibility of a minority share being sold off.

Following a positive visit to Manchester last Friday, INEOS chief executive Ratcliffe recently revealed in an interview that he wouldn't pay "stupid" money in order to beat his Qatari rival, while Sheikh Jassim has remained silent. Aside from the takeover saga, Erik ten Hag is looking ahead to the end of the season and plotting a strong start to the summer transfer window.
