‘Glazer agreement’ claim as two promising Sheikh Jassim takeover hints dropped

Erik ten Hag reviews Man Utd's win against Burnley

Manchester United fans can’t rule out Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani making a sixth offer to buy the club from the Glazer family, according to reports. And the Qatari businessman’s previous actions suggest that the unpopular United owners know what they are doing by playing the patient game in the takeover process.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Sheikh Jassim’s previous two U-turns bode well for the Glazers and supporters hoping he submits a sixth, improved bid.

“I still don’t think that we can rule out another bid from, in particular, Skeikh Jassim,” Jacobs told GiveMeSport.

“Simply because we got told after the final bid deadline in April, even though that was only a soft deadline, that that would be the last offer.

“Then we got told after the fourth bid that that would be the last offer then we got told after the fifth bid that that would be the last offer.

“So you can never rule out another offer in this type of takeover because it’s public, it’s fluid, in many ways, the situation.

“And ultimately, if Sheikh Jassim in particular wants Manchester United, he may eventually have to pay what it takes, or certainly get closer to that £6bn number.”
