Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani has submitted an increased fourth bid to buy Manchester United.

Sheikh Jassim's renewed offer, believed to be close to £5bn but shy of the Glazer family's £6bn valuation, was submitted to the Raine Group, the New York-based investment bank overseeing the sale of the club, on Tuesday morning.

The third and final round of bidding concluded on April 28 but, with reports last week claiming a revised offer from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS had put them in pole position to acquire United, Sheikh Jassim has moved again.

Sheikh Jassim believes his bid is a very competitive one which brings huge benefits to Manchester United, including clearing nearly £1bn worth of club debt and a separate fund to redevelop Old Trafford, the surrounding area and the club's Carrington training ground.

INEOS values United at a higher price than Sheik Jassim's bid but it is not for the whole club and would give the Glazers the opportunity to keep a 20 per cent stake. United's share price closed down to $18.80 on the NYSE on Tuesday, giving the club a market cap of $3.09 billion (£2.47 billion).

The Qataris don't learn do they?

Stop making proposals about clearing the debt and investing in the club's infrastructure with your bid.

Glazers don't care about that!

I hate to say it but the local lad remains in pole position to buy the club

It's a shame as soon as he starts being good at the club he is going out the door.
I suspect he has been told he isn't guaranteed a first choice place next season.

At least we know we are definitely getting a big signing to replace him next season and it's not just talk.
De Zerbi admitted the other day at the Emirates Caicedo could still leave :mjlit:
