Paul Scholes claims Manchester United fans' protests against the Glazer family will only stop once new owners are found.
The former midfielder says he hopes that a takeover can be sorted before the summer ahead of a big spending spree, which is likely to see a marquee striker signed. A second soft deadline for revised bids has been set for Wednesday night at 9pm.
This follows club meetings with big-money bidders Sir Jim Ratcliffe and representatives of Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, among others, last week. Scholes suggested that the argument that the Glazers had not spent funds on the team under previous managers was wrong.
