BREAKING NEWS: Glazers sell Man United to Qatar Sheikh Jassim for £6bn (BIG SALE IN HISTORY)
Sheikh Jassim has made a fifth offer to buy Manchester United with a clear indication: take it or leave it. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani this week made a fifth and final improved offer of just £6bn to buy Man United FC. After this Friday there will be no more offers from the Qatar group, Jassim will NOT be involved in the process anymore. This was also due to the start of the transfer window as Sheikh Jassim wanted to be ready to invest in the squad quickly. The Glazers have received the offer direct and will make a final decision shortly as they are also in talks with Simon Ratcliffe. The offer is 100% owned by the club, is fully cash and transactionally simple, would fully pay off all debts of the club and has separate additional funding solely for the club’s ongoing player, infrastructure and other investment needs. It’s up to the Glazers while talks with the INEOS group also continue, Sir Jim Ratcliffe insists on the purchase of Man United.
Sheikh Jassim is also aware that if he takes over ownership, he must offer Erik ten Hag the optimum moment as soon as possible to strengthen his selection in the transfer market. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani has decided Friday is the closing date for further involvement, meaning if the offer is not accepted, he will walk out. Sources close to him describe it as a critical moment. Copyright © 2023 Chelsea Fire | Powered by Astra WordPress Theme

Man Utd takeover LIVE: Glazers’ Sheikh Jassim response, Kim Min-Jae transfer ‘hijack’, Amrabat admission
The Manchester United takeover saga took a fresh twist this week when Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani lodged a fifth bid for the club, however, the Glazers have yet to respond
Another week, another twist in the Manchester United takeover saga.
Qatari billionaire Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani has lodged a fifth and final bid in the hope of beating Sir Jim Ratcliffe to a deal, but neither party have heard anything from the Glazers, who continue to mull over their options.
While the club’s unpopular American owners take their time over a decision, Erik ten Hag is working hard to try and get deals done ahead of the summer transfer window, which officially opens next week.
The Red Devils are in the market for a quality striker but also have designs on strengthening other areas of their squad, too. A surprise deal for Mason Mount appears to be edging closer after the club agreed personal terms with the Chelsea star, who will be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge for the right price.
Ten Hag performs Lindelof u-turn
Victor Lindelof has been denied a transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt after Erik ten Hag made it clear that he wants to keep him at Manchester United.
Lindelof, 28, emerged as a key player under Ten Hag in the latter stages of the season, deputising at centre-back after Lisandro Martinez suffered a serious metatarsal injury in April. The Swedish defender impressed alongside the likes of Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw, helping United secure a third-place finish in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup final.
Pre-season schedule takes shape
In case you missed it, Manchester United have added another assignment to their pre-season schedule.
The Red Devils will take on Spanish side Athletic Club in Dublin on Sunday August 6, a week before the start of the Premier League season.
They are also set to play Leeds, Lyon, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund throughout pre-season.
Zilliacus out of process
Previously linked with a takeover at Old Trafford, Thomas Zilliacus has (once again) confirmed that he has pulled out of the process.
He tweeted: “XXI Century Football Capital focuses on football investments. We know how to make clubs successful and profitable and how to make fans happy. We focus on big clubs with a large fan base. We are profit oriented as only profitable clubs are successful in the long run.
“XXI Century Football Capital believes the price of Manchester United has reached levels where investments no longer make sense. We therefore have turned our attention to other clubs.”

Sheikh Jassim bid to ‘remain live’
Despite the self-imposed deadline for Sheikh Jassim’s bid, it appears that the offer will remain on the table for the foreseeable future.
According to The Guardian, the Qatari will not fully walk away even if he doesn’t hear back. His offer, that is reportedly below the Glazers’ £6bn asking price, will remain live beyond today.

McTominay opens up on Ten Hag influence
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has hailed Erik ten Hag for his influence on the side during his first 12 months at Old Trafford.
Talking to the Red Devils’ official website, he said: “Obviously, the transition in terms of his style is very, very different to some other coaches, but, as I say, that’s football. He’s always having you thinking, and having you think about new ideas and stuff like that.
“It’s good, that’s the best way to be with football: open-minded and going into every game, if he asks you to do something, you do it to the best of your abilities and you try to learn it as best as you can. I think, for me, it’s great. I love it.”

Back in January, the Daily Mail reported that Klopp had attended a meeting with Sofyan Amrabat’s representatives with a view to a transfer, but failed to get a deal done. And Ten Hag, who worked with the player at Utrecht when he was coming through the ranks, is now keen to be reunited with him at Old Trafford.
Newcastle eye Kim Min-Jae hijack
Manchester United could face late competition to sign Napoli star Kim-Min Jae from Newcastle.
The Red Devils looked to be edging towards a move for the South Korean defender with the Italian side resigned to losing him. He looks likely to still be on the move but Eddie Howe is looking to make a late play for his services.
That is according to talkSPORT, who suggest that Newcastle are keen to bolster their defence this summer and could pay Kim’s release clause.
VAR to change next season
Manchester United are set to be impacted by VAR and offside decisions in the Premier League.
Four extra offside cameras are set to be used at every game in the Premier League next season in an effort to overcome the problem of a ‘blind spot’ in the current technology.
However, the semi-automated system that was used with great success at the World Cup will not be seen.
