Manchester United: Sheikh Jassim withdraws bid, ends interest in Red Devils
Qatari billionaire Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has reportedly withdrawn from the race to purchase Manchester United.
However, despite reportedly offering a world-record bid to buy the Manchester club, the Qatari businessman was unsuccessful, losing out to Brit Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who offered to buy only 25% of Manchester United.

This deal was more acceptable to the controlling Glazers family, with brothers Avram and Malcolm, who agreed to sell equal parts of their stake in the club, totalling 25%.
Qatari royal urged to chase new club
After the disappointment of failing to land Manchester United, Sheikh Jassim has been encouraged by a former competitor to focus his attention on Serie A giants Inter instead.

FOOTBALL British tycoon Sir Jim Ratcliffe revives interest in Manchester United
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe revises bid for Manchester United, intensifying competition with Qatari investor Sheikh Jassim amid Glazers' £10 billion valuation.
Thomas Zilliacus, who was an early bidder for stakes in Manchester United, took to social media platform X to encourage Sheikh Jassim after his failed bid and urged the Royal to join his bid for 2023 UEFA Champions League finalists Inter.
The Finnish businessman posted a message to Sheikh Jassim on X, saying, “Happy to see you have come to the same conclusion I came to a few months ago. Now let's join forces and buy a top Italian club and make it the best in the world!”
According to reports, Inter’s owners, will be more open to selling shares of the Nerazzurri after a difficult financial period for the club, but will also be seeking a premium for their stake in the club.
