Manchester United fans are facing the nightmare scenario of at least two of the Glazer family continuing to take money from the club following the latest round of bidding.
Both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamed Al Thani have tabled offers that value the club in excess of £5billion. But the richest man in Britain now appears to have an edge over the Qatari banking tycoon because his proposal puts a greater value on United and would allow the six American siblings to trouser the most cash.
While Sheikh Jassim’s offer is for 100 percent of the club, Ratcliffe wants only to buy the shares held by the Glazer family.
