Sky Sports has clarified that Sheikh Jassim will takeover Man United
Reports had suggested that Sheikh Jassim was closing in on a takeover of Man United. But Sky Sports has confirmed that a Manchester United takeover is no closer to completion despite these rumours.
Rumours from Qatar indicated that Sheikh Jassim had succeeded in his bid to take full control from the Glazers.
These claims garnered significant media attention, with arguments on both sides of the story.
Moreover, Sky Sports, through their chief reporter Kaveh Solekhol, has now confirmed that the rumours about Sheikh Jassim are false. Solekhol stated that there is currently no update or progress regarding a takeover at Man United.
The latest on Sheikh Jassim Man United takeover saga
Despite the lack of progress on the takeover front, Sheikh Jassim is reportedly already planning potential transfers for Manc United.
It has been suggested that the Qatar group is eyeing a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, whom Jassim believes “belongs at Man United.”
PSG values Mbappe at £170m. However, the longer the takeover saga continues without a resolution, the more it could impact United’s plans in the transfer market. The journalist Ben Jacobs says:
“Lots of speculation on the MUFC sale process, and an out-of-hours stock price surge reacting to that. But as of last night no group had been informed they are successful. Not expecting anything public or groundbreaking in the next few days. If that changes will update you.”
Amidst the report, the chief reporter Kaveh Solekhol added:
“Man United fans will want an update on what is happening with a takeover. Is anything happening? Are we closer to any resolution?
We’ve checked with all sides, with all our sources, and they’re telling us no update at the moment.”
In conclusion, it is hoped that there will be a development soon, whether it involves Sheikh Jassim or Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The lack of off-field news could spell trouble for Man United and lead to unrest among the club’s supporters.
The transfer window is now open but it can delay the takeover process and may affect the club’s ability to execute its plans effectively.
