Manchester United supporters are hoping the takeover process of their club will be concluded soon as the lengthy process continues to rumble on.
The Glazers put the club on the market last November and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have long been the leading contenders. Reports this week have put the former in pole position with Reuters claiming the Sheikh would soon enter a period of exclusivity with the Reds' board.
However, this has been refuted by other sources meaning Ratcliffe is not to be ruled out yet. Should the head of INEOS and Nice owner win the race to buy the club, he will need to operate under the rules of UEFA as well as the Premier League.
