All potential new Manchester United owners and major investors have been invited to presentations at Old Trafford by senior club staff over the next two weeks.
They include representatives of Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar's Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The pair are regarded as the two leading candidates to buy the Premier League club should the Glazer family eventually decide to relinquish control.
Part of the presentations will revolve around how the club could generate more income.
Ratcliffe's camp will visit at the end of next week, although it is yet to be confirmed whether the 70-year-old British billionaire will attend. Sheikh Jassim's delegation will also receive their presentation next week.
It is not known whether there have been additional bids to buy the club but other organisations have expressed an interest in taking a stake in United.
Others, including the Elliott Group, have expressed a willingness to help with funding, either for external bidders or if the Glazer family decide to keep hold of United.
Once the presentations have taken place, the Raine Group, which is handling the sale, is likely to ask for revised bids, which to this point have only been regarded as indicative.
The club's data room, which would give up-to-date information around player contracts and sponsorship deals, is still to be fully opened to prospective buyers.
While the soft deadline for submitting bids was almost three weeks ago, the whole process could now speed up from this point, although getting a deal done by the end of the month, which had been the initial intention, is thought to be unlikely.
There is still uncertainty around the Glazer family's intentions amid a view that United co-chairmen Joel and Avram would prefer to keep some part of the club but their four siblings and fellow directors do not.

Where have you seen that?
It might just be posturing in an attempt to keep the price down.

Glazers ain't selling, this is all for show.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How have you come to this conclusion?

@rsehole, meet hand; hand, meet @rsehole
----------------------------------------------------------------------
calm down lads. I know your hurting after the massacre and all but come on do you really think the will sell their cash below their value
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That would depend how much below their value the offer is and how much they want to sell.
By the looks of it the presentation is geared at proving to the potnetial buyers that the club is worth closer to what they are asking for than what is being offered.
Unless it is all for show and they have no interest in selling like you think.

Well you would hope so
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you believe that they are doing this to try and get more money for the club, but also believe that they aren't selling and it is all for show?
Exactly how does your brain work?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
do I have to explain my comment, really.
I was responding to that specific bit of Txt above
But yes I think they're going through the motions to appease the fanbase.
We're see soon enough.

Makes sense. These high flying businessmen can't have anything else to do with themselves. Why wouldn't they pretend that they want to sell the club and further upset fans that already want them out? Quiote right. Perfect logic old boy.

You can't deny his logic. That guy is going places. He sees things that others don't.

Not too much money though compared to how much their cash cow provides.
Like I said we're see.
