Manchester United's stock price has risen by 3.45 per cent over the past five days as the takeover process continues to rumble on.
The Glazers announced in November they would be seeking further financial investment in United which included the option of a full sale. In the months which have followed, two men have managed to position themselves in front of the pack - Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Sheikh Jassim's bid aims to purchase the entirety of the club meaning the Glazers would leave Old Trafford. Ratcliffe's offer would see him buy 60 per cent of the Reds and opens the door for the American owners, particularly Joel and Avram, to stay.
