The Qatari billionaire Sheikh Jassim has submitted a fifth and final bid to buy Manchester United and vowed to walk away from a possible deal if there is no progress by Friday.
As with his previous offers, also submitted via the Nine Two Foundation, it is for a complete takeover of United whereas the other principal bidder, the Ineos businessman, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has been trying to buy the Glazer family’s 69 percent shareholding in stages.
