Another day goes on and Manchester United's proposed takeover looks no closer to completion. The Glazer family announced their intention to explore the possibility of selling United nearly eight months ago now.
And yet, United's owners have not given any sort of update on how the process is going. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani are the two parties hoping to buy the club yet it's still not clear which bidder will emerge successful.
But it's not stopping transfer business, as Mason Mount is set to be announced as a United player over the next few days after he announced on Tuesday night he was leaving Chelsea.
A report from Qatari outlet Al Raya claimed on Tuesday it was 'expected that the Manchester United purchase contract will be signed by the Glazer family that owns the club within the next few hours' but we still await any further news. Follow all day long for the latest on United's takeover. Reports in Qatar have claimed Manchester United's protracted takeover could reach its conclusion 'in the next few hours'.
