Manchester United have reportedly asked bidders for the club to clarify the source of their wealth and explain who would be the ultimate owner ahead of the latest deadline for bids this Friday.

The process to take control of United continues, with the club originally being put up for sale back in November.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari royal Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani remain the front-runners in the bidding, which is being overseen by New York based bank Raine Group.

And, according to Bloomberg, Raine have made demands to all bidders, which vary from questions regarding where their wealth originates from, what debts will be secured against the club, along with future financial plans.
