There has been no Saudi bid for Manchester United with the deadline having passed, it has been claimed.
Three bidders have emerged after the Glazer family put the club up for sale. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has confirmed his interest, as has Sir Jim Ratcliffe, while American hedge fund Elliott Investment Group is prepared to finance an investment in the club.
According to The Mail, a Saudi bid - which some had anticipated with the deadline looming - has not materialised. This news will come as a boost for Ratcliffe and the Qatari bid as the race hots up.
