The Qatari bid for Manchester United remained outstanding on Friday night, but sources close to the group were adamant that it would be forthcoming.
It had been thought that the team working on an offer from Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani would submit their bid before close of business on Friday.
However, late on Friday night it had failed to land in the US.
Sportsmail understands that the offer will be forthcoming and that the finer details were being ironed out. The US merchant bank Raine, which is running the process, had granted further time following Wednesday night's initial 'soft' deadline, and will wait on the bid's arrival.
