Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has denied any involvement in Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's quest to complete a takeover of Manchester United.
It was reported by The Athletic on Friday that the PSG chief had 'played a significant role in talks' over the purchase of United by a group led by Sheikh Jassim. The Qatari banker lodged a fifth and improved bid to buy the Reds on Wednesday after having reportedly become frustrated by the Glazers' ongoing hesitation.
Sheikh Jassim, who wants to gain full control of the club, tabled his first bid for United back in February and is one of the main frontrunners, taking up his position alongside British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The latter wants to buy a majority stake, whereas the Qatari wants full control.
