Manchester United sale: Fresh twist as Glazers react to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar bids

The Glazers are refusing to sell Manchester United for less than £6billion after receiving several bids for the Premier League club.

United's American owners have put their prized asset up for sale and received at least two bids ahead of Friday's 'soft' deadline. Those have come from Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who runs the INEOS group.

It is believed that American hedge fund giant Elliott Investment Management have also entered the race to take over United, while other bids are expected to have been made - notably from Saudi Arabia. Despite there being plenty of interest, there is a good chance the club will go unsold if their huge price tag is not met.
