Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani has been to a number of Manchester United matches as a supporter. Some of those have even been away (perhaps the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Bristol City in 2017 – who knows?). This much is confirmed.
Much more about a man who hopes to be the next owner of the 20-times English champions is difficult to establish. Sheikh Jassim is not someone who courts attention; his details are not freely available online. The company hired at great expense to publicise his bid cannot even confirm his age.
