Richard Arnold, the United chief executive, was at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January where the club courted interest from potential sponsors. They previously owned AC Milan before selling the club to American investment group RedBird Capital last year.

"Everyone is now trying to work out what the Glazers are going to do. "There were even banners at the game last night against Real Betis. "But Manchester United belongs to the Glazers so they can decide what happens next and it is by no means certain that they will decide to sell - even though there are offers on the table that value the club at £4.5bn. "I know that would be bad news for a lot of Manchester United fans because they want the Glazers to go, they're hoping that either the Qataris or Sir Jim Ratcliffe buy the club. "Or will they stay and use the funding that is being proposed to them to borrow money, maybe sell a minority stake in Manchester United and use that money to redevelop the club. "That is the difference and it is significant that they have made it through to the second stage of the process because it basically lets us know that the Glazer family are still looking at all options.
