Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says Avram Glazer wanted to "show his intentions" with his presence at the League Cup final victory over Newcastle.
United co-chairman Glazer attended only his seventh United match in the last four years to see their 2-0 victory over Newcastle at Wembley.
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe submitted proposals to buy United before a soft deadline on February 17.

The United supporters booed Glazer when he appeared on the big screen and he was filmed congratulating Ten Hag in the stands and outside the dressing room.
"He was really happy, really happy for the club, as an owner. So I was really wanted (him) to be part of it. He was in the dressing room, very good he was there to show his intentions."
When asked if that indicated Glazer's stance on investment in the club, Ten Hag replied: "I don't know, I'm not involved in that process.
"Thank you for the question. But I think the way that he is here shows you feel that he is committed about the process, about what he wants is not for me. I have to perform this team, this dressing room and others at the club are involved in the decisions about ownership, etc.
Casemiro nodded in United's opening goal in the 33rd minute and a Sven Botman own goal six minutes later deflated Newcastle as United ended a trophy drought that had strayed close to six years.
The triumph capped a fine February for Ten Hag, who presided over eight unbeaten games as United progressed in the Europa League over Barcelona and ended the month third in the Premier League table.
Now United have secured silverware, Ten Hag hopes it will inspire the squad to achieve greater things. "It's true even if you take that (the Barcelona win) into account), it's a massive performance that we can deliver this.
"And that tells you we are fit, physically fit, mentally fit. They had energy so I think it was a great performance in that perspective for us.
"We are not only hoping but to know that it's worth to invest, to know that it's worth to suffer and to sacrifice and to know you have to give every day your best to celebrate. It's all about that; glory and honour.
"If you want to win something, if you want to prove something, you have to do it, otherwise you don't get it, because nobody is bringing you something in top football.
"It shows one thing: that you are on a good pathway, you are in a good direction. It is one cup in February but it shows the right direction.
"This has to be the inspiration, this has to be the motivation to continue in this pathway and improve and don't be happy. Okay, be happy for 24 hours but not be satisfied because satisfaction leads to laziness and when you get lazy you don't win any more games and you can't win trophies."
