The potential sale of Manchester United by the Glazer family continues to drag on, with it now more than five months after they announced they were open to offers to buy the club.
The Glazers have repeatedly pushed back their deadline to complete a sale, with INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani the two frontrunners to buy the club. A number of US investment companies such as Elliott Management, the Carlyle Group and Ares Management have also made minority investment proposals.
As a result of the takeover saga continuing to drag on, Mirror Football understands that United have put their pursuits of leading transfer targets like Tottenham star Harry Kane, Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez and Ajax defender Jurrien Timber on the back-burner.
