Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani remains determined to buy Manchester United despite the Glazer family putting the takeover process on hold.
Al Thani, a member of the Qatari royal family, is fronting one of the two groups who are seeking a full takeover of the Red Devils. English billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is heading up the other bid through his Ineos chemical company.
Neither of the bidders has yet heard back from the Raine Group, who are running the process on behalf of the Glazers. Al Thani remains committed to buying the club - his family are one of Qatar's richest thanks to his father's spell as prime minister.
