The Man Utd takeover could finally be heading towards a conclusion following reports Sir Jim Ratcliffe has 'taken the lead' over Sheikh Jassim
If the latest reports are to be believed, Sheikh Jassim's hopes of completing a takeover at Manchester United have just got slimmer.
Several rounds of bidding have followed since those February bids, before the Sheikh submitted a fifth and final offer for United in June having decided the current owners and the Raine banking group which is conducting the sale process have had ample time to seek or request clarification and revision of his offer.ALSO READ: United are set for season-defining run of fixtures
On Thursday night a further report from Bloomberg claimed the Glazer family 'currently views Ratcliffe’s bid for a minority stake as more attractive than an alternative Qatari offer for the whole club'. It added that United's board could meet to discuss the latest proposal 'as soon as the next few days'.
While keeping the Glazers around would clearly be far from ideal, Sir Jim appears eager to do whatever it takes to get involved with the club he has supported since childhood. And his latest attempt appears to be swinging the pendulum in his direction.
