Manchester United's tumultuous takeover saga looks set to continue rumbling on for a while longer. Suggestions this week a resolution to the sale stalemate led to an increase in the share price at United.
At the time of writing, the Reds' price on the New York Stock Exchange is up 5.59 per cent on the day. However, it would appear talk of the takeover finally coming to an end was reported in haste.
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani remains the favourite among reports but the sale appears no closer to being finalised. In MEN Sport's latest look at the takeover headlines, there are now fresh plans for this weekend's protest at Old Trafford.
According to the Daily Mail, despite reports elsewhere suggesting a date could have been set for the takeover's completion, the Glazers are still no closer to selling.
