Bidders for Manchester United have not yet received any update on the sale process, which has caused “bafflement” in some quarters, although there is hope there will be a response this week. That would still come more than two weeks after Ineos, the Sheikh Jassim-fronted Qatar bid and Elliott Management – which has bid for a minority stake – would have expected an update.
The second bids were submitted the weekend of 24 March after the deadline was extended. Initial responses were anticipated within seven days.
