Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is still in contention to buy Manchester United despite contrary reports claiming he had walked away from the deal.
Sheikh Jassim has submitted several offers for the Premier League titans, including his fifth and final bid which is thought to have been worth around £5billion - with a further £1bn of investment into the club also pledged. However, he is not the only figure interested in owning United, as INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also in contention and has lodged multiple offers.
The pair differ in how much of the Red Devils they actually want to own, with Ratcliffe only seeking 50 per cent while Sheikh Jassim is after 100 per cent and complete control.
