Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani's team have submitted a second bid to buy Manchester United - which they believe is the best offer for the club and the community.
The Qatari businessman was among the first parties to express an interest and, like Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has upped his opening bid this week, as per the Daily Mail. United had been seeking second bids during the week, but opted to extend their 9pm deadline on Wednesday to give potential buyers more time.
Jassim's representatives are confident they can get a deal over the line, despite reports claiming they would not pay silly money for the Premier League club as the Glazers look to maximise their profits. The Americans are thought to be eyeing around £6bn if they are to walk away from the club - a figure thought to be unrealistic given the money needed to be spent on the club's infrastructure.
