He wrote, “Qatari outlet Al-Watan, an organisation that Sheikh Jassim’s father owns, reports that the Qataris have been successful in their bid to purchase Manchester United.”

His major rival was British millionaire and founder of Ioenos group, Sir Jim Ratcliffe who was understood to have submitted bid for partial ownership.
