Sheikh Jassim will make his second bid for Man United on Wednesday evening. His advisers are now working on putting together a new bid which is expected to be submitted by close of business on Wednesday. Growing confidence among bidders that Glazers are willing to fully sell the club.
Excl: Man City 1st club to bid for top Croatian prospect Luka Vuskovic. Hadjuk Split centre-back wanted by many clubs & #MCFC proposal for 16yo worth €10m + €2m adds - not accepted or rejected. Defender has signed with agent Pini Zahavi @TheAthleticFC
NEW: #mufc have sent scouts to watch Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma this season. Those reporting for United at recent Brighton matches have done so with a focus on Mitoma. [@JackRosser_]

Manchester United sale update: Fee will break world record if Glazers sell. Second offers tomorrow expected north of £5bn. Qatari bid remains favourite but SJR & team impressed last week. SJR could couple with other bidder. Six bids expected.
While INEOS is only looking to purchase the 69% stake of #mufc at present owned by the Glazer family, its pursuit of United, could be strengthened by a possible partnership with one of the other investor bid groups [@Lawton_Times]
| JUST IN: Two weeks ago, a meeting took place between Monaco defender Axel Disasi’s entourage and #mufc. Monaco are ready to sell for €50m. [ @Santi_J_FM

Victor Osimhen has been on #mufc's list for a while and United are now ready to make 'an offer that cannot be refused'. Napoli will not discuss any offers lower than €130m [@mattinodinapoli]
It is only the Qataris who are known to be able to do a deal without Wall Street lending of some sort of money and they believe they are on a very strong footing. [@TeleFootball]
JUST IN: In recent days, Barclays has shelved two loans for Ratcliffe's Ineos Enterprises, according to Bloomberg. Sources close to the billionaire were dismissive of the prospect market conditions could in any way hamper his bid. @TeleFootball
