REVEALED: Man United's dismal form has done little to persuade Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim to raise their £5bn offers to the Glazers with Erik ten Hag's struggles showing the scale of the task at Old Trafford

Manchester United's stuttering start to the season has done little to bridge the gap between the Glazers’ asking price and what is being offered for the club, Mail Sport understands.

An underwhelming return of just six points from five games has left Erik ten Hag’s side in 13th place in the Premier League and has impacted negatively on the perception that the fallen giants were finally set to challenge under the Dutchman after last year’s apparent revival.

Talks and negotiations remain ongoing with interested parties which include the two frontrunners to buy the club, Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
