Man Utd: Qatar's Sheikh Jassim submits FINAL takeover bid and sets Friday deadline
Daily Mail The Qatari Sheikh who wants to buy Manchester United has submitted a further bid and has set a deadline of Friday.
In a major power move to seize control of the Premier League giants, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani has submitted the offer directly to the clubs owners, the Glazer family, and Raine Group, the American bankers managing the long-running saga.
Mail Sport understands the Sheikh has also told those involved that he will engage up until Friday. After then, the bid will stand, but there will be no further negotiations.
The bid is the fifth made by Sheikh Jassim since Mail Sport revealed details of the first in February. It remains for total control of the club and is thought to include a significant further sum for investment on infrastructure and recruitment. No preferred bidder has yet been chosen since a deadline of April 28 for final bids.
