Almost seven months since the Glazers issued a statement to confirm that they were open to selling Manchester United, the club remains firmly in their grasp.
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani have established themselves as the frontrunners to lay their hands on the club.
Ratcliffe is after a majority stake while the latter wants to secure full control. Reports earlier this week suggested that Sheikh Jassim was on the cusp of completing a takeover of the club.
However, sources close to him have said that it was just 'pure speculation', meaning the saga remains ongoing. On Monday, United's share price soared to its highest in a month and as of Tuesday lunchtime the price had risen again.
