Sheikh Jassim has taken a step towards a successful takeover bid for Manchester United with his company appearing to have been approved in the UK.
The Premier League giants are yet to confirm who their new principal owner will be after a battle between the Qatari banker and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, which has dragged on for months.
The Glazers were tipped to finally decide on a preferred bidder this week, although reports in his native Qatar suggested Sheikh Jassim had already won the race on Monday.
