This is a realistic scenario.
I know that some people think that announcement is imminent. I don't believe that for one second.
I'm not sure that the club will even get sold - if it does, then it might be next Summer.
The Glazers will drag this out for as long as possible. Remember, if they hang on for another year, they'll make more money (dividends) during that year AND there are likely to be higher bids.
Waiting for another year is a winning situation for them.

I don’t think any announcement is imminent but I think there has to be a resolution before the season starts, even if it’s just an agreement in principle.
One thing this process has proven is there aren’t people queuing up to buy United, if they don’t sell now there’s no guarantee they get offered the same next year. I’m not convinced they’d be able to take dividends and even if they did it’s small change in comparison. They are going to milk every last drop but I’d be shocked if they don’t sell to one of Qatar/INEOS.
