The summer transfer window has now been open for one week and the protracted Manchester United takeover process is thought to be impacting plans.
It's been more than seven months since the Glazers announced plans to explore 'strategic alternatives', and while prospective buyers have been whittled down to two, neither Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani nor Sir Jim Ratcliffe have any more clarity on their progress.
Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim has reportedly received a boost in his pursuit, with the Glazer family agreeing on their preferred outcome.
Previously, brothers Joel and Avram Glazer were wanting to retain a minority share - something proposed by Ratcliffe - but both are now said to be willing to sell 100% of the club.
