Manchester United's takeover process has been littered with frustration among the fanbase and the most recent reports that new owners may not be in place for the transfer window will only increase anger.
The seven-month takeover process has been typified by a week in which conflicting reports have led to confusion, with the final outcome being little tangible development. On Monday, Qatari media suggested Sheikh Jassim's bid was to be successful before backtracking amid denials from the banker's camp.
With the transfer window now open and the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal well into their summer business, the uncertainty regarding a takeover is only heightening the sense of anger that Erik ten Hag's plans will be affected.
