Sir Jim Ratcliffe could reportedly bring in a number of other financial backers to help him beat Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani in the Manchester United takeover race.

The latter is apparently being considered as the current favourite to complete a purchase of the club although Ratcliffe could seek to bring in other parties to bolster his position.

The deadline for updated second bids is thought to be 9pm on Wednesday evening with both Ratcliffe and representatives of Sheikh Al-Thani meeting with United officials last week ahead of finalising renewed or initial offers.
