      Man Utd takeover bidders given firm warning after releasing statements about plans for club

      One of Britain’s richest men Sir Jim Ratcliffe and chairman of the Qatar Islamic Bank, Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani, have both tabled offers.
      Ratcliffe, who also owns French side Nice, is a boyhood Man Utd fan and made his money via chemical company INEOS.
      Meanwhile, Sheikh Jassim has pledged to get rid of debts but would need to prove he is not linked to the Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain or the teams may not be able to play in the same European competitions.
      Any deal that happens will be overseen by US bank Raine, who took control of the £2.5billion sale of Chelsea to Todd Boehly last May.

      However, The Times has claimed that Raine has moved to “firmly remind bidders that the process is meant to be private” and warned them against making remarks that reflect badly on the Glazers.
      The Qatar bid statement “is understood to have caused consternation among those running the process” as it promised to return United to its “former glories” and “implied criticism of the present owners”.
      The Ineos bid then issued its own statement on Saturday which outlined their desire for “putting the Manchester back into Manchester United” and investing money to “make them the number one club in the world once again”.
      Meanwhile, the Glazer family have reportedly been offered the financial backing to STAY at United by hedge fund company Elliott Management.

      They have entered the takeover race and presented a way for the current owners to stay.
      ESPN report that the US billionaire group do not want to buy Man Utd outright and their proposal is “possible financing, not a bid for the club.”
      They would instead look to help finance United, which means they may help clear debts, or obtain part-ownership, or potentially both.

      This would help the Glazers remain at Old Trafford as Elliott Management’s cash injection could also assist them do things like renovate Old Trafford.
      Man Utd legend Gary Neville has outlined his fears the Glazers will remain as significant shareholders and Elliott Management could provide them with that exact opportunity.
      Meanwhile, the Manchester United Supporters Trust has expressed their concern about a potential takeover from Qatar, saying: “There are questions about sporting integrity given the exceptionally close links between some bidders and the owners of other European clubs including PSG and Nice.
      “We also note the importance that any owner respects the rights of all people, particularly women and the LGBTQ+ community.
      “Concerns have been raised by other fans groups which we fully support. We urge all bidders to open a dialogue with fans groups alongside the bidding process with the club, in order to discuss their proposals including the above issues.” More

      Ten Hag’s Red Devils continued their impressive progress on the pitch – despite a first half the boss described as “rubbish” and a “mess”.
      Marcus Rashford’s two goals took his tally for the season to 24 and put United firmly in the title race.
      Yet their long-term future is shrouded in uncertainty with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar based Sheikh Jassim both lodging bids over the weekend.
      Asked about the statement issued by MUST, Ten Hag said: “I thank the fans they have their trust in me. I feel committed with this club,

      “I love to be here but it is not in my influence. What I can influence is the performance of this team and I will do everything to continue.
      “We are committed with this club, it is our club, in our heart – but it is not our job.
      “We focus on football and perform and that is what the players and staff have to do.”
      United shook off a lacklustre first half to ensure they go into a huge week on a high note.

      Ten Hag admitted his team were fortunate to be ahead at the break, saying: “We have to follow the rules and principles from our way of playing. When we don’t. it is getting a mess.
      “We were really lucky at half-time we were one goal up – great pass from Bruno [Fernandes], great finish from Rashy [Rashford]. But the rest is rubbish.”
      Rashford struck either side of the break and also had a hand in the third goal scored by his fellow England man Jadon Sancho.
      The forward has now had his most prolific season for United and said: “It’s still early in the season, we’re fighting for a lot of different things.
      “There is always something to look forward to and I don’t feel like slowing down. I always try to improve.”
      As for a title challenge, Rashford said: “We’re there, we’re close but at the same time both teams in front of us are really good teams and playing good football.
      “We have to just focus on ourselves, do as well as we can and keep picking up points.”
      Leicester were disappointed they had nothing to show from a bright opening – but Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers felt there was a key moment in the first half.
      United’s new boy Marcel Sabitzer somehow escaped unpunished for an X-rated challenge on Wout Faes.

      Rodgers said: “It is a sending off, a straight leg on to the knee, how it was not looked at is incredible.

      “Understand Brazilian LB will look for new options in other countries — while he’s back in Madrid with his family.”
      According to Marca, Real have agreed to let Marcelo train in their facilities in his bid to regain full fitness, something he never managed to do at Olympiacos.
      The six-time LaLiga champion arrived in poor form and expressed his displeasure of being dropped from the squad just before last November’s derby against rivals Panathinaikos.
      Marcelo would often be left out of manager Michel’s squad, even when there weren’t any left-back options.

      The Piraeus giants looked to offload Real’s all-time most decorated player’s hefty contract with Michel looking to cut down on his inflated squad.
      However, Marcelo’s arrival did lead to profit for the club thanks to the shirt sales.
      The five-time Champions League winner issued a touching message to thank Olympiacos.
      Marcelo posted: “I have lived unforgettable moments in Greece, in which I was warmly welcomed to a new home, not only for me, but also for my family.
      “Piraeus and its people have all my heart and this won’t be my last time in this amazing country.
      “I can only express gratitude for wearing the Olympiacos jersey. Even though the brief stay, the experience and the friends I made there will be forever marked in my life.
      “Today I say goodbye but I’m leaving my affection and respect to the President, my teammates, all the employees and fans of the club. I wish Olympiacos a successful future!”
      Olympiacos also bid Marcelo farewell with a message of gratitude, insisting he will always have friends in Piraeus.
