The Glazers are listening to minority offers for Manchester United and could remain in charge of the club once the takeover saga ends.
United's unpopular owners put the Premier League club up for sale last November and received two confirmed offers for full ownership from Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe ahead of last month's 'soft' deadline.
The Glazers are yet to accept a bid for United and more offers - including minority bids - are expected to be made during the coming weeks. Such offers will not be welcomed by those Red Devils fans who want the Glazers to sell up after a decade of stagnation.
It is believed the six siblings of the Glazer family - Avram, Joel, Kevin, Bryan, Edward and Darcie - are divided on whether to sell United.
Avram and Joel, who both attended United's Carabao Cup victory against Newcastle last Sunday, are said to have the strongest connection with the club and would like to remain involved in some capacity. A minority sale would allow that to happen.

Avram's and Joel's desire to keep hold of United has been strengthened by the opening bids. It is believed that neither Ratcliffe nor Sheikh Jassim has offered more than £4.5billion for the club. The Glazers reportedly want up to £6bn for their prized asset.
Although the 'soft' deadline for bids has passed, Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe could comeback with higher offers to persuade the Glazers to sell up.
The Glazers, who took control of United in 2005, did not promise to sell the club when their announcement was made last November. They insisted they would consider a number of strategic options - "including new investment into the club".
As such, there is a good chance they will sell just a fraction of the club. One strategy is selling the shares owned by Kevin, Bryan, Edward and Darcie - allowing Avram and Joel to stay at the helm. The two could buy out the other four siblings alongside a partner.
If the Glazers remain on board, they will want a partner who can afford to improve the club's infrastructure. United's Carrington training ground is in need of improvement - as Cristiano Ronaldo protested during his notorious interview with Piers Morgan.
Old Trafford is also in dire need of refurbishment. Their funds could help transform Old Trafford into one of English football's premier grounds again. For example, Tottenham's new ground had reportedly added at least £1.5bn to the value of the Londoners.
