According to newcastleworld, Qatari financier Prince Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani is hopeful that his Manchester United buyout proposal would be successful, despite rumours that the Glazers prefer selling a minority interest.
According to new reports this week, the Glazers are growing increasingly confident of continuing as owners, with multiple companies interested in purchasing a minority position in the Red Devils, including the Carlyle Group and Elliott Management.
Sheikh Jassim, on the other hand, wants majority ownership of the Old Trafford club and is certain of success, according to The Guardian.
According to the article, both Sheikh Jassim and British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe have signalled their desire to register takeover proposals. A acquisition bid in excess of £3.75 billion would smash the global record for a sports club set when the NFL’s Denver Broncos were sold to the Walton-Penner group. NYSC Portal
If Sheikh Jassim’s takeover is completed, the Red Devils will become the third Premier League team with ownership ties to the Middle East, following Manchester City (Dubai) and Newcastle United (Saudi Arabia).
