Reports suggest that Sheikh Jassim remains confident in his bid to buy Manchester United, despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s offer to let the Glazers remain at the club.
The Qatari billionaire expressed his interest in the Red Devils in January, and while there is talk of the current owners staying, a takeover is still a possibility.
Ratcliffe’s bid would allow the Glazers to retain their 20% stake in the club, which has caused anger among United fans.
In contrast, Sheikh Jassim hopes to acquire 100% of the club and make a “clean break” from the current regime.
His bid is being financed through his Nine Two Foundation, and he is committed to making United a footballing superpower once again.
The Glazers confirmed in November that they were open to a potential sale or minority investment, and United are set to spend big on players this summer.
However, Sheikh Jassim is still fighting for a full takeover, and more details should emerge in the coming days.
United fans have long protested against the Glazers, and former West Ham striker Frank McAvennie has criticized the family for the way they run the club.
United are set to face Tottenham in their Premier League clash on Thursday night.
