Man Utd sale: Sheikh Jassim 'confident' of beating Sir Jim Ratcliffe as talks set for Manchester

Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani is ‘confident’ in beating Sir Jim Ratcliffe to finally become the new owner of Manchester United as the takeover process continues to progress.

The pair are currently the front-runners to complete a deal for the Red Devils. Each have lodged bids for the club after the Glazers announced their intentions to sell in November last year.

Since then, the facilitators of the sale - the Raine Group - have decided on which parties they will progress further down the process. Face-to-face talks are now expected to take place in Manchester, as per the Mail Online, with due diligence protocols also set to be followed.
