The Glazers have reportedly identified their preferred bidder for Manchester United, more than six months on from the club first being put up for sale.
According to The Sun, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to be identified by the Glazers as their preferred bidder as the process takes a significant step forward and the American family's controversial ownership of the club looks to come to a close some 18 years after they first took over.
Having announced during the World Cup that they were seeking fresh revenue streams, be that an investment in the club or an outright sale, much speculation has surrounded United and the potential next owners.
