Sheikh Jassim's camp are still awaiting clarity from Manchester United regarding his takeover bid despite reports the Glazers had entered into talks around an exclusivity period.
Reports emerged on Thursday that the much-hated Glazers had taken a step forward in their attempts to sell United. Those rumours suggested that the Americans were discussing entering a period of exclusive talks with the Qatari banker, who is battling British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe for control of the Red Devils.
Ratcliffe's bid would see the Glazers stay on, at least temporarily, while Sheikh Jassim is seeking a full 100 per cent buy-out. The Glazers value the club at around £6billion, though neither Ratcliffe nor Sheikh Jassim is thought to have matched that valuation.
