Sheikh Jassim submits fifth improved bid to buy Man Utd

Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani is understood to have submitted a fifth improved bid for Manchester United this week.

The club announced in November that the board was exploring strategic alternatives to enhance the club's growth, with a full sale one option being considered. 

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim both publicly confirmed initial offers in February and the latter is understood to have this week made a fifth bid to acquire United.

The offer remains for 100 per cent of the club and those involved in Sheikh Jassim's bid have indicated this will be the final bid.

Rushhoursport understands Sheikh Jassim's bid team will not engage with the process after Friday but this latest offer follows what was called a 'final offer' in late April.
