A new report suggests that both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim of Qatar are preparing second bids in their pursuit to acquire Manchester United.
Ratcliffe was recently present at Old Trafford for a presentation aimed at potential buyers, while Sheikh Jassim sent a delegation for a similar presentation the day before.
There is increasing confidence that the Glazer family will sell the club, and initial concerns about them possibly backtracking have now eased.
While bids led by Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim are currently dominating discussions around the takeover of United, other parties remain interested in the club.
Elliott Sports Management is expected to come back with another offer to support the club’s current ownership with investment, rather than taking over.
The upcoming international break will likely see takeover talks take center stage over the next few weeks, especially with Erik ten Hag’s team out of action.
