THE BIGGER PICTURE: There are thought to be "at least four parties" interested in buying United, with the Glazers described as being "determined sellers" as long as their valuation is met. All bidders are set to be given access to the club's financial records and opportunities to look around Old Trafford and the club's Carrington training ground as part of the takeover process.
