Sheikh Jassim spotted in rare photo on his dad’s Instagram as £5billion Man Utd takeover saga rumbles on
PROSPECTIVE Manchester United owner Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has been spotted in a rare photo.
That’s as the Red Devils’ takeover saga rumbles on into the summer transfer window.
The Glazers put United up for sale in November, slapping on a £6billion price-tag in the process.
But despite setting a deadline for March, Old Trafford is yet to find itself in the hands of a new owner.
Qatari giant Sheikh Jassim is now one of two bidders left in the running alongside British business Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Both men value United at around £5bn and are ready to back Erik ten Hag in the market.

But they are offering very different types of bids, with Sheikh Jassim hoping for a full takeover and Ratcliffe ready to keep the Glazers involved.
And while the latter has not been shy in front of cameras, Sheikh Jassim has led his negotiations away from the limelight.
Reports in Qatar claim an improved £5.5bn offer is now set to clinch the takeover in his favour.
And fans were left stunned to see Sheikh Jassim in a new photo along with his father and two brothers.
