Sheikh Jassim in Manchester United 'world record' ownership bid as Glazer family set to relinquish control

The Glazer family could now be starting to see the end of their time as the majority owners of Manchester United - with reports suggesting that Sheikh Jassim will make a world-record bid to buy the Red Devils.

The Glazers have been in majority control of United since 2005, and whilst the club initially underwent a period of success over a six-year spell after they joined which included three consecutive Premier League titles and three Champions League finals, it has been a barren spell ever since.

United's last Premier League title came in the 2012-13 season, with only an FA Cup, two Carabao Cups and Europa League title to their name since 2015. For a club that was undoubtedly the most successful in England and arguably Europe for a period of at least 20 years, standards have been dwindling in the red half of Manchester - with fans believing the buck to fall with the Glazer family, who have been nothing short of detrimental in their reign as owners of the Mancunian outfit.
