The Glazer family are ready to extend the deadline for a Manchester United takeover until the end of May after interested parties failed to meet their huge £5billion valuation.
Since confirming that they were putting the club on the market back in November, the Glazers have fielded a number of proposals from suitors before last month's soft deadline for bids. But although various parties, including INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, have lodged concrete offers for the club, nobody has come close to meeting the family's demands.
It was previously outlined that the Glazers hoped to conclude before the end of the first quarter of the year or by the end of April.
