Both parties are said to have asked for an extension, which has been granted.

He tweeted: “Incredible development. Now being told Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe bids have not been received yet by Raine in New York.”

“Both asked for extensions and the request has been accommodated. “Many proposals” have been submitted.”

Tonight 9 pm GMT was said to be the deadline set by the Glazers to submit the second bid.
