Ryan Giggs urges Man United to 'get the takeover done' as the Glazers' sale saga rumbles on - and claims Sheikh Jassim would be a better fit than Sir Jim Ratcliffe because he's 'going to put the most money in'

Ryan Giggs has urged Manchester United to resolve the sale of the club and 'get the takeover done', insisting that the off-field saga threatens his former side's results on the pitch.

The Glazers, who have owned Manchester United since 2005, announced last November their plan to explore investment options, including the prospect of a full sale, and have attracted bids from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari tycoon Sheikh Jassim.

The Red Devils, who lost 3-1 to Arsenal ahead of the September international break, suffered a record drop of 21 per cent earlier this week after Mail Sport reported that the Glazers had decided to take the club off the market.
