Gary Neville's concerns have been realised, with reports in France claiming Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS remain in the dark regarding the Glazer family's plans for Manchester United's future.
The Glazers confirmed in November 2022 that they were exploring "strategic alternatives" which could include a sale. There had been hope the process could be completed before the close of the 2022-23 season, but fans have been left none the wiser.
INEOS chief Ratcliffe is one of two parties still in the running, as well as Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. The owners may yet opt to stay involved in some capacity, be that by remaining as owners with outside investment, or by retaining a minority stake in the club.
