Manchester United are busy working away in the transfer market looking ahead to next season but in the background the club's takeover saga continues to rumble on.
United are nearing the completion of the potential £60m signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea. The midfielder has been at the club's Carrington training ground for a medical before becoming Erik ten Hag's first acquisition of the summer.
However, neither Sir Jim Ratcliffe nor Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani are any closer to being granted exclusivity and ultimately taking over at Old Trafford. It follows months of negotiations and bids being put to the Glazer family, but there is no conclusion in sight to the process as things stand.

United have a poor track record when it comes to signing big names for big fees. However, it has recently been claimed that they have an interest in Brazilian star Neymar, and that Shiekh Jassim is also 'tempted' by the prospect of bringing Mbappe to Old Trafford.
