🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A Qatari source close to Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has told.
Centredevils that the Sheikh remains interested in acquiring Manchester United and is prepared to re-enter the bidding process—should the Glazers and/or Sir Jim Ratcliffe indicate a willingness to sell.
In a significant shift, the source revealed that Sheikh Jassim would now consider purchasing only the Glazers’ 72.3% controlling stake, even if that means keeping Sir Jim Ratcliffe on board as a minority or operational partner. This signals a pragmatic change in strategy after his previous all-or-nothing offer was rejected.
> “The goal remains clear: Glazers Out,” said the source.
Sheikh Jassim’s offer would include the complete clearing of Manchester United’s debt, which currently exceeds £600 million, and immediate plans to redevelop or rebuild Old Trafford into a world-class stadium. The Qatari consortium has also pledged to comply with PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) while still delivering elite-level recruitment in the transfer market.
In a clear contrast to recent job cuts under INEOS management, the source added:
> “Redundancies would never even be a consideration.”
This development could reignite major takeover speculation, particularly as many fans remain disillusioned with the Glazers’ continued presence and the club’s financial struggles. Sheikh Jassim had previously withdrawn from negotiations in late 2023 after the Glazers favored Sir Jim’s minority stake deal.
The message is unmistakable: Qatar is not out of the race. And if the Glazers show any signs of wavering, Sheikh Jassim is ready to return—stronger than ever.
