Man United sale postponed until summer

Manchester United’s owners – Glazer family had hoped to complete a deal to sell the club by April, but The Telegraph claim the deadline has been pushed back to the end of the season.

The initial goal was to complete the deal within the first quarter of the year, but the prospect of that appears to be receding and it is believed that a sale before the summer transfer window opens in June is now considered a more realistic time frame.
