A second round of bids are expected to be submitted in the Manchester United takeover battle this week.
Sky Sports report there will be ‘more than five’ offers submitted ahead of the deadline on Wednesday night.
It is claimed there ‘could be as many as eight’ bids for the club in total.
However, the Glazers are only willing to sell the club for what they consider to be ‘the right price’.
A battle for Manchester United
The Glazers are said to be willing to accept a minority offer which will allow them to stay at the club – if they do not get the full takeover price they are looking for.
Three US hedge funds have been registered interest. It is warned the Glazers would use the potential investment they can offer to pay down the club’s debt, while remaining at the club.
This is worrying for Manchester United supporters, but it could simply be part of the ongoing posturing as they look to get the right price.
The Glazers are looking for between around £6 billion for the club. Meanwhile, bidder Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who visited the club last week, insists he will not overpay.
Quoted by The Telegraph, he said: “How do you decide the price of a painting? How do you decide the price of a house? It’s not related to how much it cost to build or how much it cost to paint.
“What you don’t want to do is pay stupid prices for things because then you regret it subsequently.
“Our interest in that club would be purely in winning things.”
There is reported to be a different stance from Qatari bidder Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Jaber Al Thani.
Sky Sports report: “He is prepared to overpay for United because of its history and because it hardly if ever comes on the market.”
A delegation on behalf of Sheikh Jassim visited Old Trafford last week, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe attending a day later.
The Guardian reported last week Sheikh Jassim is the favourite to win the race to buy United.
While Ratcliffe may be ready to walk away, leaving United stuck with the Glazers, Sheikh Jassim appears determined to buy the club whatever the cost.
