This has angered United followers on social media, with many eager to see the again of the household as soon as and for all.

The mysterious Qatari billionaire has made 4 affords for the membership, with Ratcliffe making three bids himself.

For now, United are specializing in Saturday’s FA Cup last showdown with Manchester City at Wembley.
