    Ratcliffe waits for takeover approval

    Man Utd fans may have to wait until next month at LEAST before finding out if Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be taking a stake in the club.

    The 70-year-old's bid was initially expected to be given the green light in aĀ Red DevilsĀ board meeting this week.

    But while a scheduled board meeting did take place as planned on Thursday, and the potential share sale is almost certain to be discussed, there will be no decision fromĀ the GlazersĀ and other directors.

    Although a late change of heart is possible, it is understood that the final details on any agreement are still being thrashed out by lawyers and are unlikely to be completed in time.

    Martial law for striker

    Anthony Martial has been warned to shape up or ship out.

    Reports claim the Frenchman has been told he must show signs of improvement to earn a new Man Utd contract.

    Martial's current deal expires at the end of the season and the Red Devils are prepared to lose him on a free.

    But if he gets back to goalscoring ways after some injury-blighted seasons, Martial could yet end up penning a United extension.

    The 70-year-old's bid was initially expected to be given the green light in aĀ Red DevilsĀ board meeting this week.

    Rooney – an avid boxing fan who competed as an amateur when he was younger –Ā fancies his chances against a celebrity rival.

    He said: "He won't mind me saying but after every big fight, especially with a YouTuber, sometimes Rooney will fire me a message.

    "Wayne Rooney had a very limited amateur pedigree but could still fight.

    "Wayne Rooney training, and I said to him, 'Imagine the shape you could get in as well. You'll get right back into shape.'

    Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd ones to watch

    Summer signingĀ Gustavo HamerĀ has been a shining light for Sheffield United this season.

    The Brazilian, recruited from Coventry in August, has scored in matches againstĀ Nottingham ForestĀ and Tottenham.

    Man Utd, meanwhile, found an unlikely hero in Scott McTominay.

    TheĀ ScotlandĀ star scored an amazing late double against Brentford and will surely be rewarded with a start this time around.

    McTominay will also be buoyed by Scotland's qualification for Euro 2024 and should be oozing with confidence.

    Hojlund branded a 'disappointment' by San Marino star

    Man Utd star Rasmus Hojlund was slammed by a San Marino veteran after claiming he was targeted during their clash.

    Roberto Di Maio hit back after the striker suggested San Marino players tried to "crush" him during Denmark's 2-1 win on Tuesday.

    He wrote on social media: "Today I read that Mr 80 million is complaining because yesterday he received less than great treatment from the defenders of San Marino.

    "Well dear, probably in football like today where physical contact has disappeared you can allow yourself to make fun of us little opponents with ugly and repeated gestures or to simulate at every opportunity hoping for the VAR for a penalty.

    "I would have liked to see you 15 years ago when only real men played football! You were a disappointment Hojlund, good luck."

    Ratcliffe deal being delayed

    Sir Jim Ratcliffeā€™s bid for a 25 per cent share in United has a number of potential sticking points ā€“ in terms of board representation and demarcation lines.

    This is between the Ineos areas of authority and those still under the remit of the current hierarchy.

    They will need further detailed discussions and negotiation before a formal proposition is put to the board.

    Changes to board members must then be confirmed via the New York Stock Exchange, where the club is listed.

    Since the start of last month, Unitedā€™s ā€œmarket capitalisationā€ ā€“ the value of the clubā€™s shares ā€“Ā has fallen by around Ā£750m.

    Ratcliffe is hoping to have attained control ahead of the January transfer window.
