Manchester United takeover news LIVE Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar latest as Glazers 'want £6bn for club'

Manchester United are gearing-up to resume their Europa League charge against Sevilla in the quarter-finals on Thursday night (8pm), but Erik ten Hag is not without concerns for that first leg.

Back-to-back victories over Brentford and Everton at Old Trafford have put United in pole position to rubber-stamp Champions League qualification for next season. However, injuries sustained by Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford in those matches means United could be missing their first choice left-hand side.

With one eye on the summer transfer window, meanwhile, Harry Kane is the prime target for Ten Hag in his search for a new striker. United also want to bring in another midfielder - with Orkun Kokcu the latest man to be linked - while the club are open to selling Harry Maguire, Alex Telles, Brandon Williams and Anthony Martial among others to generate funds.

United might well be under fresh ownership from next season, too, after the Glazer family made their shares available. Offers headed-up by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani have taken centre stage, but there are other interested takeover parties.

The same report from the Daily Mail suggests that at this stage of the takeover process, the Glazers can enter into exclusivity with one group or call for a third round of bidding.

It's claimed that 'some feel' the lack of movement is an indication that they are considering all options, although the delay 'could be the Glazers' way of examining ways to drive the price up'.

Regardless, movement in the process is expected this week.
