In a dramatic twist to the Manchester United ownership saga, Sheikh Jassim is reportedly prepared to re-enter the race to buy the club, according to sources close to the Qatari camp speaking to @centredevils.
Although Sheikh Jassim withdrew from last year’s lengthy takeover battle, his interest never fully vanished. Now, with mounting fan frustration and financial concerns around the Glazers, the Qatari royal is signaling renewed intent to gain control at Old Trafford.
“The goal remains clear: Glazers Out,” the insider emphasized.
Sheikh Jassim’s revised strategy reportedly includes a willingness to acquire only the Glazers’ 72.3% stake, leaving Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 27.7% minority share intact. This potential compromise could pave the way for a deal that satisfies both the fanbase and Ratcliffe’s sporting vision.
The Qatari bid still promises to clear club debt, build a world-class stadium, comply with PSR rules, and invest in top-tier talent — with assurances that staff redundancies would not occur.
With Sheikh Jassim’s team closely monitoring developments, this renewed interest could spark fresh momentum in the ongoing battle for United’s future. His vision remains unchanged: a debt-free, competitive Manchester United with restored global stature.
