Manchester United officials have held meetings with the Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani bid to buy the club after they were shown round Old Trafford on Thursday.
Representatives of the bid were pictured outside Old Trafford earlier today and they will also visit Carrington during a day of talks and meetings as the second stage of the takeover process begins.
Shahzad Shahbaz, president of the Nine Two Foundation set up during the bid, was part of the delegation that held talks with United officials and banking figures overseeing the potential sale of the club.
