All the news received indicates the success of Sheikh Jassim’s acquisition of Manchester United, and the announcement of the deal will be very soon!”
Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani has come out on top in the race to buy Manchester United, according to reports in the country.
Mail Sport reported over the weekend that both bidders in the battle for United – Sheikh Jassim and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe – were finalising their offers ahead of an expected decision on exclusivity later this week.
At one stage Ratcliffe’s Ineos company appeared to be out in front, yet those acting on behalf of Sheikh Jassim have been more optimistic about their chances following the dramatic submission of an improved offer last week.

“You’re also hearing about some potential law cases from some of the owners of the minority shares that are listed, some of the hedge funds that own them, because what they want to know is why the Glazers might turn down a massive bid that would make these shareholders an awful lot of money.”
“The Glazers were trying all methods to squeeze the Jassim bid. The spike in Manchester United shares means traders betting the Glazers are about to sell to Sheikh Jassim of Qatar.”
Sheikh Jassim’s final bid for Man United:

The Qatari successful bid rumours originated from Qatar and involved senior officials at media organisations linked to the family of Sheikh Jassim. Sources involved in the process have played DOWN the accuracy of the reports & the price did drop slightly

Erik ten Hag keen to do business to strengthen his squad, and a belief some resolution to the United ownership saga, triggered by the Glazer family in November, has to be resolved soon.
Sheikh Jassim has moved to play down speculation that he has won the race to buy Manchester United – but growing reports are adamant the deal is done and a firm announcement is expected imminently.
The Red Devils have been up for sale since November when the unpopular Glazers announced they were looking for fresh investment. Having been the majority shareholders of United since 2005, they stand to make a hefty profit on the family’s initial £790m investment.
Indeed, Avram and Joel Glazer, who inherited the shareholdings from their late father, Malcolm, appear to have milked the process for all it is worth.
Sheikh Jassim submits improved fifth bid to take over United
Several parties have offered to buy minority stakes, although as the process has dragged on, far longer than experts expected, the Glazers taking that option has appeared to be increasingly unlikely, SportsFila,com have learnt from sources
With all of this great exposure for Qatar, especially for Sheikh Jassim, the Qataris will not let this moment pass. They are aware that this opportunity may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
Glazers have to sell. If they don’t do so now then they won’t get a bid as good as this ever again. On the other hand if they want to stay they’ll likely pick the Ineos deal.
TheSun SPORT-PREVIEW: Sheikh Jassim submits improved fifth bid to take over United
There is no smoke without fire, its happening, this dude has always got loads to say, he is in Qataris pocket no doubt, we all knew it came down to the glazers getting the 6b or close to and we are there now, the rise in shares also reminds the Glazers how much united are worth with them gone and how much they loose if they stay, its a no brainer…… roll on friday, thats when i think its going to be announce
Hopefully the saga will soon be at an end. The most likely reason that there is no formal announcement, and “downplaying” are because United are listed on the NYSE. There are strict rules on what can be published/stated officially and I think that until the paperwork is complete, signed, sealed and delivered anything is possible.
SportsFila thinks that the deal will be completed soon and the Sheikh is now the preferred bidder. One person close to the Sheikh’s family tweeted congratulations to him. It will be embarrassing for them if that is not the case. They are proud people and they would not want the humiliation.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
