Manchester Evening News readers have named Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani as their preferred buyer of Manchester United.
The United-owning Glazer family announced in November they were looking for further investment opportunities in United which included the possibility of selling the club entirely. Two contenders have emerged in a process which has frustrated fans with how long it is taking.
INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe is wanting to purchase 60 per cent of the club which would open the door to the Glazers potentially remaining as minority owners. Sheikh Jassim is also in the race and is thought to be in pole position with his offer to buy 100 per cent of United. Both parties have made several bids but none have yet been accepted.
