Who is Abdulrahman Abdulla Al Ansari? Second man associated with Qatar bid for Manchester United revealed

The name of a second man associated with Sheikh Jassim's bid to buy Manchester United has been revealed.

Sheikh Jassim is hoping to purchase 100 per cent of the Old Trafford club from the Glazers, with reports claiming he could be granted exclusivity in the negotiation process being widely dismissed earlier on Thursday. British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also still in the running, although his offer would see him purchase 60 percent of the club allowing Joel and Avram Glazer to retain a 20 per cent stake ahead of a phased departure.

The news came just hours after Sheikh Jassim's Nine Two Holdings Limited was officially listed as a company in the UK. The company was 'incorporated' by government agency Companies House on Thursday, June 15, with the Sheikh listed as one of two directors.
