The Independent reports:

'John Magnier and JP McManus are moving closer to effective
control of Manchester United by shoring up support among
other shareholders to ensure crucial votes go their way.
Insiders are increasingly confident that the pair will be
able to emerge victorious from any vote at an Emergency
General Meeting. If that transpired, they would effectively
have the power to sack Sir Alex Ferguson or overthrow the
board.'
