US billionaire Malcolm Glazer has announced that he now owns more than 97 per cent of shares in Manchester United.
However, he is still short of gaining complete control and has extended the deadline for shareholders to sell the remaining shares to him for £3 each.
He had said he would extend his offer if he did not get 97.6 per cent of shares - the point at which he can forcibly buy the remaining stock - by Monday, June 13.
Shareholders now have until 1500 BST on 27 June to decide whether to sell, reports the BBC.
