Sheikh Jassim, Ratcliffe 'still want to buy Manchester United'

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are reportedly still interested in buying Manchester United despite the fact that the takeover process is showing no signs of reaching a conclusion.

Last November, the Glazers revealed that they were open to entering into discussions over a possible sale of the club, and it had initially been thought that a takeover would go through in April of this year.

Almost 10 months on, the process has stalled, with neither Sheikh Jassim nor Ratcliffe believed to have had a response to their latest offers, which are thought to be worth around £5bn.

There have been suggestions that the Glazer family are considering taking the club off the market.
