Finnish entrepreneur Thomas Zilliacus has announced he's back in the race to buy Manchester United.
Zilliacus had declared he was withdrawing his bid earlier this week after the Glazer family, the club's owners, had insisted a third round of offers be submitted. Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe have also tabled bids.
"My earlier offer still stands and I am willing to pay a premium above what I offered," he told the BBC's How To Buy A Football Club podcast.
"I'm not going to be participating in a third round because I find it highly unprofessional. I see no reason whatsoever why a third round is basically starting the whole thing from scratch.
"It seems odd to me that, if there is a genuine will to sell and you have three serious bidders, why you don't sit down with the bidders, discuss and negotiate and hopefully come to a number that everyone can agree."
