FFS, just spent 2 minutes watching Kaveh confirm that he doesn’t know what’s going on. I knew that without picking up my phone…

[JaleelBeig]

It shall not be Manchester Derby for long

It shall be maanshistar darbi ya habibi

[nickraoyj]

Bloody Glazers still haven't decided literally THE DAY BEFORE the transfer window opens! 🤬🤬🤬

[ssmufc]

As usual Sky Sports and Kaveh are about 48 hours behind developments and still manage to say lots, and nothing at the same time. Quite impressive actually 😂

[twyscape]

Just rumors. I’m fully expecting a last minute twist (again). Next round of bidding to commence tomorrow. 😂😂

[RioValentine-cnkl]

If the glazers don't sell or leave before the transfer window starts, they will never leave. That's my thought. So tired of watching these updates.

Nobody:
Kaveh: We're hearing unconfirmed reports.

Glazers have to sell. If they don't do so now then they won't get a bid as good as this ever again. On the other hand if they want to stay they'll likely pick the Ineos deal.

[andikasavana]

With all of this great exposure for Qatar, especially for Sheikh Jassim, the Qataris will not let this moment pass. They are aware that this opportunity may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

[mksfik]

don't play with my feelings like this 😂

[bazler]

Imagine getting paid a fortune for telling people absolutely nothing 🤷‍♂️😂

[anangrycat]

Manchester is now truly united, two small oil clubs in one city

[rishirajsutar]

how long this drama is gonna continue...?...kudos to Sheikh Jessim's patience

[Tinus]

Always check your resources. If you see it on some strange website or fan page, but not on the news or official club sites its false. Thats the only way you survive the transfer window every year, especially if you’re a United fan.

[ColmPadraig]

This should have all been sorted out months ago. And it still hasn't a day before the transfer window opens, absolute joke

[LanceODoherty]

Donny is reporting a report from a reporter in Saudi 😂 absolute waffle

[ArnoldMfori]

In Fabrizio Romano we trust here we go 🎉 is what we love seing, all our trust is him 🎉

[walemaybach]

You know what am over this my blood pressure is off the charts

[aresxlc]

Utd sale will be announced today or tomorrow in favour of qatar.

So if you’ve read that 'The Glazers want to sell Man United' then, it’s true, they do. But if you’ve read the 'The Glazers actually don’t want to sell Man United, that’s true as well.
