Manchester United takeover bidders to meet club this week as talks enter new phase

Manchester United will this week play host to the two parties bidding to become the new owners of the club. Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS Group confirmed their bids for United following the Glazer family announced their intention to sell last year.

The next stage of the process will begin this week, with Ratcliffe and his team and representatives of Qatar's Sheikh Jassim attending face-to-face meetings at Old Trafford tomorrow and Friday.

The meetings are expected to give both parties the chance to look in more detail at United's finances and future plans.
