Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani could soon be confirmed as Manchester United ’s new owner if a new report is to be believed, with a takeover rumoured to be rubber stamped ‘in the next few hours’.
The Qatari billionaire has been in the race to complete a deal for the Red Devils since the club were put up for sale by the Glazers back in November. He has lodged a number of bids for United since then and has been going head-to-head with Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Neither have been named as preferred bidders by the facilitators of the sale - the Raine Group. However, it now appears that a deal could be completed sooner rather than later.
