Both leading parties in the race to buy Manchester United are set to submit second offers to the Glazers next week after each holding positive meetings with club officials.
A Qatari delegation for Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's bid visited Manchester on Thursday, spending 10 hours with United chiefs as they discussed a range of subjects in depth relating to both on and off the field matters. Sir Jim Ratcliffe - who visited in person along with his INEOS entourage - then made the trip on Friday, also touring Old Trafford and the club's Carrington training complex before holding substantive talks which went well, according to BBC Sport.
With the two bidding parties still committed to a full takeover and the prospect of succeeding the much-maligned Glazer family, a series of reports suggest that Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe will each make follow-up proposals in the coming days.
