Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of the parties involved in the ongoing Manchester United takeover saga, has reportedly tabled a fresh proposal that would enable Avram and Joel Glazer to retain a small stake in the club.
Ratcliffe, Britain's richest man and the chief of Ineos, has submitted bids in both of the previous rounds of the process along with Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani and others.
And while Sheikh Jassim is intent on acquiring 100 per cent of the club rather than a minority stake, it has now emerged that Ratcliffe has tabled an offer that would allow two of the Glazers to remain on board ahead of Friday's third and final deadline for bids.
