Brutal amount of money, the sheik who is willing to give all his money for the Reds

The Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani will present a new offer to buy Manchester United, according to sources close to the English entity and it is practically a world record for the purchase of Manchester United offers 6,000 million for the club.

Also, British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to submit a bid on Friday after similar meetings held at Old Trafford and at the club's Carrington training facility.

The Glazers must decide now if they sell the club to whoever pays them the most, if they follow other criteria, or if they keep 69% of the property, as they have been up to now. The process by which they began the sale, in November, is subject to the last will of a family that shows signs of exhaustion after a decade without being able to win the Premier.

Sources close to the Glazers indicate that the owners' desire is to transfer United to the Al-Thani. If they have not closed the agreement so far, it is due to legal scruples. The link between the Al-Thanis and the fund that owns the property of Paris Saint-Germain is public and notorious.

Because the sheikh is the big contender?

Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani, the aspirant to preside over United, is the son of Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, former Qatari prime minister between 2007 and 2013, and cousin of Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, father of the emir. This can trigger legal consequences, in UEFA regulations. Article 5.01 of UEFA competitions prohibits the participation of a club if there are indications that it may be controlled by another, even if formally the owners are different persons or entities.
