Sheikh Jassim’s wealth compared to Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham amid Man United takeover bid

Manchester United have been put up for sale by current owners, the Glazer family, which could see a new era begin at Old Trafford. The Glazer family are said to have set a £6billion valuation of the club they bought for £750million back in 2005.

Only two bidders have gone public with their intention to pursue a deal to takeover United ahead of Wednesday's deadline. Qatari bidder Sheikh Jassim and INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe are expected to both submit second bids before the 9:00pm deadline.

Both parties held a meeting with United officials last week ahead of finalising renewed or initial offers. This could see United further cement their place as one of the most financially powerful clubs in the world - which may be bad news for Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.
