It’s a soap opera that has kept all Manchester United supporters in suspense for several months. While the Glazer family was in negotiations with Jim Ratcliffe, president of INEOS and OGC Nice, and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani regarding the sale of the Mancunian club, a new twist took place this Wednesday. Indeed, according to several British sources, the second city withdrew from the negotiations after its five offers were rejected.

While he is the only buyer who wishes to acquire the entire club, the Qatar representative is said to have withdrawn for financial reasons. Indeed, while he estimates that the entire most successful club in England is only worth 3 billion euros, the Glazer demands 10. A staggering amount which defeated the ambitions of Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani . While his competitor has decided to retreat, Jim Ratcliffe is the last buyer still in the running to buy the prestigious formation across the Channel.
