Sheikh Jassim delivered a clear promise to Manchester United supporters when first outlining his dream to buy the Premier League giants - but that hugely-inviting statement might now be days away from crumbling.
It has been a whirlwind few months off the pitch at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag and his improved team continue to make great strides on it. With improved backing to come, it remains anyone's guess how far the Dutchman can take his men after finishing third in the Premier League and ending the club's trophy hoodoo in his first season.
While proposed summer transfers have got people talking, signing Harry Kane, Mason Mount or whoever else Ten Hag might want to add to his squad is not the hot-topic. Of course, supporters continue to hope that their club will be prised away from the much-maligned Glazer family soon enough.
