Sir Jim Ratcliffe's staggered takeover bid for Manchester United could see all six Glazer siblings retain shares in the club, according to reports.
The takeover process that has dragged on for the majority of the 2022-23 season continues to rumble on, with just two concrete bids being submitted for the club.
Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani were the two sole suitors to put in formal offers for what is widely considered one of football's most prestigious clubs.
And as Britain's richest man looks to negotiate the complicated family dynamics and the structure of shares in the club owned by the incumbent Glazers, his bid is set to see the unpopular owners retain stakes at Old Trafford, as per the Financial Times.
His proposed takeover - unlike that of Sheikh Jassim - is not for 100 per cent ownership of the club.

In this way, he would be able to spend less money up front, but still be able to invest in the club and obtain majority control.
