After INEOS confirmed Sir Jim Ratcliffe's takeover bid yesterday lunchtime, Manchester United fans learned of reported interest from a US firm soon after.
Elliott Investment Management has been linked with entering the race, albeit only to finance a bid and not a full-scale takeover.
The Manchester Evening News understands that all bids that have been tabled at this stage are indicative with the next phase allowing interested parties to view financial figures.
After this, bidders will be required to table their final offers. Meanwhile, United welcome Leicester as they try and close the gap to second-placed Manchester City to three points.
