Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani has made one final offer to buy Man Utd

It will be interesting to watch how the Glazers’ decision, who took over United in 2005, is impacted by the most recent development.

Sheikh Jassim, though, is obviously still optimistic that he can execute a takeover in the upcoming weeks.

Even though the summer transfer window is only around the corner, United’s intentions may be impacted by the prolonged takeover process.

It’s possible that the club’s new ownership structure won’t exist when the market opens.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has made a last-minute “take it or leave it” offer to purchase Manchester United.

The Qatari financier has made many offers in the long-running competition to buy the Premier League heavyweights from the Glazer family. Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the head of INEOS, have now participated in THREE rounds of bidding, with the last deadline being set for the end of the previous month.

It was believed that The Raine Group, the US Merchant in charge of the enormous transaction, would designate Ratcliffe as the preferred bidder. However, the Daily Mail reports that Sheikh Jassim has made one last counteroffer before that update is officially verified.

Sheikh Jassim is rumored to have tried once more to buy the entire club, wiping off United’s significant debts in the process. Comparatively speaking, his nearest challenger is attempting to acquire about 50% of the club, a transaction that would allow Joel and Avram Glazer to remain there for the time being.

Although the Qatari offer is more expensive, Ratcliffe’s is regarded as representing a greater overall valuation of the club. The lifelong United supporter intends to buy majority ownership with a provision in place to enable a full takeover in the future.

That might not be the best course of action for a fan base that is eager to see ownership changes after nearly two decades of poor management. Sheikh Jassim, on the other hand, would immediately become the club’s sole owner and make a commitment to spending money on the playing roster, the facilities, and even major renovations to the aging Old Trafford stadium.

“The bid plans to return the club to its former glories both on and off the pitch and – above all – will seek to place the fans at the heart of Manchester United Football Club once more,” a statement released after Sheikh Jassim’s first bid read.

“The bid will be completely debt free via Sheikh Jassim’s Nine Two Foundation, which will look to invest in the football teams, the training center, the stadium, and wider infrastructure, the fan experience, and the communities the club supports.

“The vision of the bid is for Manchester United Football Club to be renowned for footballing excellence and regarded as the greatest football club in the world. More details of the bid will be released, when appropriate, if and when the bid process develops.”

Avram Glazer, a co-owner of United, was seen on Monday in front of the Sheikh’s father’s hotel, Claridge’s. Avram had traveled to London to attend the FA Cup final at Wembley as United’s women’s squad was playing.

Erik Ten Hag, the manager of United, wants a transaction to be finalized as soon as possible because the summer transfer window is only a few weeks away. The Dutchman had a good first season in command, but he needs market support to catch up to the best both domestically and internationally.

Following a period of pitch stabilization, Ten Hag recently asserted that players have substantially fewer reservations about joining the team. However, without further background information, his ambitious plans could be put on hold.

The takeover agreement is to be completed as the parties get to the climax and we expect them to conclude ASAP.
