The bidders hoping to buy Manchester United still remain interested in a takeover and believe the club remains up for sale.
A Mail on Sunday report claims the Glazers are planning to take Man Utd off the market with the plan of putting the club back up for sale in 2025 when they believe their valuation of £7bn-£10bn will be met.
Those involved in the process, including merchant bank Raine, the overseers of the takeover talks, have not been told of any change.
Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe were the only serious bidders by the end of the takeover process but they fell short of the valuation the Glazers set. Sky Sports News understands that they wanted £6bn.
There has always been a strong possibility that the Glazers will not sell, having never officially put the club up for sale.
US hedge fund Elliott Management were also sniffing around, offering investment into the club which could have allowed the Glazers to remain as majority shareholders.
Man Utd fans have protested the Glazers’ ownership ever since they completed a leveraged buyout to assume full control of the club in 2005, with discontent towards the family now at an all-time high.
