Manchester United remain clouded by uncertainty at the end of the season after the board reportedly failed to agree upon a preferred bidder during a meeting this week.
The protracted takeover process is now in its 187th day, with the Glazer family taking their time in deciding on whether they want to sell the club they have owned since 2005. The American family announced on November 22 that they were beginning a process to “explore strategic alternatives” for the club.
INEOS billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani have emerged as the two leading candidates. Sky News reports that the United board met on Thursday to discuss the takeover, but left having not agreed on giving one of the candidates a period of exclusivity.
