The United co-chairman and his wife, Jill, visited the Pingree School in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, where United trained ahead of their game against Arsenal at Metlife Stadium on Saturday night. He is also expected to watch the game against Mikel Arteta's team.

Ten Hag shook Glazer's hand before training began. Glaser, who lives in Tampa Bay, Florida, watched training from the sidelines and also met with players and staff, although there were no meaningful sit-downs.

His visit followed Wembley appearances to watch the Carabao and FA Cup finals, as well as the Women's FA Cup final, as doubts continue to grow over Avram and his co-chairman Joel Glazer's willingness to sell the club.

< p>It's been eight months since United announced a «strategic review» of the club, in which the Glazers admitted they could sell.

But Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim Hamad bin Al Thani, United's two main contenders, are still waiting for a decision from the Glazers.

The lack of dialogue from the Glazers, even to confirm that the process was still ongoing, was a source of growing confusion both inside and outside the club.

The Glazers' silence on the radio only added to the doubts of those involved in the process about their intention to sell. Avram and Joel have always been the most active of the six siblings at United and speak of a split in the family over what is happening with the club refusing to leave.

While it is believed that Avram and Joel would both like to stay, their siblings Edward, Brian, Kevin and Darcy are keen to cash in.

United signed goalkeeper Andre Onan and midfielder Mason Mount this summer and for £99m and hopes to add a striker. but Ten Hag admitted that he wants to talk to the Glazers during the club's US tour to learn more about the takeover situation.

«I talk to them more often, so it's a good opportunity to share ideas and we can talk informally,» Ten Hag said. «Obviously I can give advice and recommendations, but the decision is up to the club.»
