Manchester United owners the Glazer family could yet retain a stake in the club if Elliott Investment Management are chosen as the new investors, it has been claimed.
The Glazers put United up for sale in November, while also leaving themselves open to investment rather than a full takeover. The initial soft deadline for bids passed on February 17. Elliott, who registered their interest at the eleventh hour, could allow the American family to keep an interest in the Premier League side.
This marks them out from other potential investors. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is pushing for a 100 per cent takeover, while Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have bid for majority ownership.
