Manchester United's takeover has been the source of frustration among supporters for nearly eight months.
The Glazers announced in November they were seeking further financial investment in the club. One of the potential options at this stage was for United to be fully sold.
As time passed, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's offer which opened the door for Avram and Joel Glazer remaining at the club was seen as the favourite option among the Reds' ownership. However, in recent weeks Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's full sale option is understood to be in pole position to get the takeover across the line.
