Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, the chairman of one of Qatar ’s biggest banks, has confirmed he will bid for a 100 per cent takeover of Manchester United.
Al Thani is the son of former Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. The deadline for interested parties is 10pm on Friday night as the Raine Group, who are acting on behalf of the Premier League club, look to finalise their options.
Brit Sir Jim Ratcliffe is among those who have confirmed his interest whilst parties from Saudi Arabia and the US could yet come forward.
