The Manchester United takeover is set to enter the next stage of negotiations with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani expected to hold face-to-face talks.
The two parties have already lodged bids for the Old Trafford club as they aim to succeed the much-maligned Glazer family as owners. It remains to be seen as of yet which bidder is the front-runner to seal a deal but it appears that they could be set to find out sooner rather than later.
According to the BBC, the next phase of the takeover process is set to get underway. A series of meetings are reportedly set to be held over the next fortnight when it will be decided whether the candidates will progress to the next stage.
