Finnish entrepreneur Thomas Zilliacus has pulled out of the process to become the next Manchester United owner, labelling it a "farce" after it emerged both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim will participate in the third round of bidding.
Zilliacus criticised the Glazers and the Raine Group, the merchant bank exclusively advising Manchester United in the sale of the club, for failing to provide him with the necessary information needed to progress with any potential bid.
