Reporter claims takeover talks ongoing with Manchester United bidders

It sounds like there has been some movement in the potential sale of Manchester United, with Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Sheikh Jassim receiving feedback on their bids.

Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe both met the April deadline for the third round of bidding, but there has not been many updates since then.

In fact, it was understood that both bidders were kept in the dark about a takeover, until now…

Jamie Jackson of The Guardian has some news for us tonight, and it suggests that there’s been some movement from Raine Group and the Glazers.

Jackson claims talks are going on in the background with Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe – separately – regarding the potential sale of Manchester United.

United fans will be waiting impatiently for further updates, but this whisper suggests we could hear something some solid in the coming days.

We can’t say it’s the update we wanted because there’s still nothing definite about the potential sale or how long it will take to complete.

The least Erik ten Hag deserves is some clarity around the ownership and how much he will have to spend in the transfer market.
