Good morning and welcome along to Mirror Football's live Manchester United takeover blog.The Red Devils are facing what is arguably their biggest week of the season this week with two key matches to come. Erik ten Hag's men face Barcelona in their Europa League playoff second-leg at Old Trafford on Thursday. Following that, they then have the chance to lift their first piece of silverware since 2017 on Sunday as they tackle Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. Whilst Ten Hag will be keen to focus on on-the-pitch action, the state of the club's takeover is dominating the headlines. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani are the two front-runners to take control, whilst American hedge fund Elliott Investment could have a huge say on the club's new owners. Gary Neville is not convinced though. Make sure you stay tuned throughout the day so that you don't miss a single update as a sale creeps ever closer.
