It's deadline day at Manchester United as the club invites revised bids for a possible takeover. Less than a week after potential investors were welcomed to Manchester to get a first-hand look at the club and its facilities, prospective buyers now have until 9pm to submit any improved offers.
As things stand, Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe remain the only two public bidders for United and are very much framed as the frontrunners for a possible takeover.
It is believed there will be further offers made for the club, though, and several parties, including US hedge funds, have reportedly contacted Raine, the bank handling the sale, to offer financial help for any takeover bid or in the event a sale fails to materialise.
