Sheikh Jassim makes fifth bid for Manchester United with Friday deadline | OneFootball

Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani has made a fifth bid in attempt to acquire full control of Manchester United.

Not only has Sheikh Jassim submitted a further offer to compete with INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe – he has also set a deadline of Friday, as per Mike Keegan from the Daily Mail.

It is believed that Sheikh Jassim has submitted the bid directly to the Glazers and Raine Group, who are advising the American family on the sale of the club.

The Qatari billionaire has threatened that he will engage up until Friday. After then, the bid will stand, but there will be no further negotiations.

Ben Jacobs added a further update stating that latest offer could be worth $6.5bn, with $1bn pledged on top.

Fans will be hoping that the end is near for the Glazers, who have pretty much ran the club into the ground over the past 18 years, but there is a split in the fanbase about who is best suited as new owners.
