Manchester United's takeover process continues to rumble on today as fans await a progress update.
According to The Sun, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been named as the preferred bidder to buy United. Notably, Ratcliffe's bid is reported to have an option that would see Joel and Avram Glazer remain as minority stakeholders in the club.
This is in contrast to Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's approach which goes down the full sale route and would see the Glazers leave the club entirely. Ratcliffe is reported to be willing to undergo a clear out of the club's boardroom should his bid be successful, including overseeing chief executive Richard Arnold's exit.
