The battle to takeover Manchester United rumbles on this week following the drama of the last few days.
Initially, only two parties had made themselves publicly interested in buying United, INEOS' Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim. After Wednesday's deadline for bids to be submitted passed, it was widely understood that both men had been handed extensions and that the latter had submitted a new bid.
On Thursday, Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus launched a unique bid which would see 50 per cent of the club owned by him and the other 50 per cent owned by the fans. While many supporters were unsure about whether he would be able to achieve a deal, Zilliacus has remained adamant that he is serious about buying the Reds.
