A decision is expected on Manchester United's preferred bidder in the coming days with Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani believing he is back in the hunt.
The Qatari banker had been rivalling INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with the British billionaire thought to be leading the race to buy the Premier League giants, in part due to the composition of his offer. Sheikh Jassim had tabled a final take it or leave it offer late last week and was ready to walk away from the process.
However it appears those from the Middle East are very much still in the game and believe they could yet win the race. The Daily Mail understands that the two parties will find out in the coming days whether or not they are the Glazer's preferred bidder.
