The Qatari media outlet that claimed Sheikh Jassim had won the bidding process to take over Manchester United has backtracked on its original report.
The potential sale of United by the Glazers has been ongoing for several months, with the American family announcing in November that they were exploring 'strategic alternatives' for investment.
Multiple parties expressed interest throughout, but via a series of deadlines both Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe emerged as the two front-runners.
