Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah says he has offers to sell the Premier League club.

Prince Abdullah has been prepared to sell the Blades for the past two years.

He told The Sheffield United Way: “We are talking with many parties. Every week we get a new offer.

“I would say there are two or three serious offers but these things prove to take a lot of time. Not only those people that do due diligence. It's not like buying a car or buying something from a menu. Many things go to it.

“I think we are an advanced stages and the good thing for me is I still want to be involved with the club so I think I'll be staying with the club but not (with a) controlling interest). That was very important to me. Of course, some of the offers, they want to own the club 100 percent, some prefer that we stay.

“If all things are equal, I'd prefer to be part of the club but we will see. I think things will start to accelerate soon I hope but I've learned not to be too sure about those kind of things.

“Of course, I will try to get the best price but I would not sell to anybody.

“When I say I want to stay involved with the club, it becomes clear it is very important who is the partner because I always say that hiring the best player, the best manager or the best players is the most important thing in the club. I really think the most important thing to any club is the right ownership because if it's a bad owner it can ruin everything very badly."
