In a stunning new development that could reignite the takeover saga at Old Trafford, a Qatari source close to Sheikh Jassim has told @centredevils that the Qatari royal still remains interested in acquiring Manchester United — and is prepared to re-enter the bidding if there is any openness from the Glazers or Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Despite pulling out of last year’s drawn-out battle to buy the club, Sheikh Jassim has never truly walked away. Now, in a bold and potentially game-changing statement, his camp is signaling a renewed determination to take control of the Red Devils.
️ The source told @centredevils: “The goal remains clear: Glazers Out.”
“As everyone already knows, we are ready to clear the debt entirely, build a world-class stadium, remain within PSR rules, and bring world-class players to Manchester United. Redundancies would never even be a consideration.”
What makes this development even more intriguing is Sheikh Jassim’s openness to purchasing only the Glazers’ 72.3% stake, allowing Sir Jim Ratcliffe to remain on board with his 27.7% minority ownership. This compromise could offer a lifeline to United fans desperate to see the back of the Glazers — while keeping Sir Jim’s football-focused ambitions intact.
What Happens Next?
Sources suggest that Sheikh Jassim’s team are closely monitoring the situation behind the scenes, particularly in light of growing fan frustration and financial questions surrounding the current ownership structure. With the Glazers under pressure, Sheikh Jassim may be positioning himself for a strategic second attempt to gain control — this time with a more flexible and club-friendly approach.
The Vision Remains the Same
Debt-free. A modern stadium. A competitive squad. A restored Manchester United.
The message is clear: Sheikh Jassim hasn’t given up – and the fight for Manchester United isn’t over.
