MU sale ‍: It's now or never, Qatar get angry

Started several months ago, the process of selling Manchester United is beginning to seriously annoy Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani. The Qatari candidate has just transmitted a new offer to the Glazer family and his entourage assures that there will be no more proposals from him.

Will Manchester United really change ownership? The question arises more and more over the months. Mandated for the sale of the Mancunian club, the Raine Group bank has not validated any of the many offers received since the start of the sale process. Like the Briton Jim Ratcliffe, Sheikh Jassim ben Hamad Al-Thani has nevertheless revised his commitments upwards on several occasions. This week again, the Qatari submitted his fifth proposal.

L’Equipe this time mentions an amount of 5.8 billion euros, not counting the billion euros invested in the coffers of Manchester United and in its infrastructure. Unlike the boss of Ineos, who wants to buy a certain percentage of the club, and leave members of the Glazer family in the organization chart, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani is aiming for all the shares. Its representatives consider its offer sufficient, and even ” huge compared to the current and past price of the club’s action “.

The press stunt of the Al-Thani clan

The Qatari has therefore decided to issue an ultimatum to the shareholders in place. ” Given that Sheikh Jassim has gone through all the required process since February 2023, and especially given that the transfer window opens in a few weeks and that he will have a huge influence on the future of the club, Sheikh Jassim will no longer make offerwarned someone close to the case. Therefore, Sheikh Jassim will no longer engage in the process after a deadline set for this Friday. The next few days will therefore be decisive for his candidacy. At least if the businessman is not bluffing.
