Manchester United look set to go through the month of June without a transfer for the second consecutive year, and the ongoing takeover process is having an impact.
It has been more than seven months since the Glazers announced plans to 'explore strategic alternatives' for investment, but the American family have done little to reassure supporters since.
Some fans attended Tuesday's home shirt release at Old Trafford to protest. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe remain the two frontrunners, with the former reportedly becoming 'increasingly confident' that his proposal will come out on top.
The Qatari banker hopes to buy 100 per cent of the club and takes his confidence in the uncertainty regarding Ratcliffe's majority buyout.
