Manchester United's takeover will rumble into July as the Reds remain no closer to being sold.
The Glazers announced they had put the club up for sale back in November. At this stage, several options were on the table including the prospect of seeking alternative investment rather than a full sale.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has since proposed an offer of £5bn to the Glazers for a 60 per cent stake in the club. This was deemed to be the winning bid until recently when reports emerged Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's full sale offer was in pole position.
