Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has launched an eleventh-hour ‘take it or leave’ bid to buy Manchester United.
The Qatari banker has long been in the race to acquire the Premier League giants from the Glazer family, and has submitted multiple bids. Sheikh Jassim, along with INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have now been through THREE rounds of bidding, with a final deadline set for the end of last month.
It was understood that Ratcliffe was set to be named the preferred bidder by The Raine Group - the US Merchant overseeing the mammoth transaction. But before that update is confirmed, the Daily Mail report Sheikh Jassim has launched one final counter offer.
