DEADLINE DAY

POTENTIAL owners of United have until 9pm tonight to submit second, revised bids.

It is believed Reds officials met with eight potential investors, but only two have made their bids public.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has said he will not pay a 'stupid price' to buy the club from the Glazer family, having met Old Trafford chiefs for takeover talks last week.

The INEOS founder and chairman visited Old Trafford as well United's training ground on Friday the day after Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's delegates also spent the day in Manchester for talks.
