- Qatar Islamic Bank chair placed offer late on Friday night
- Bid comes after week when sale had been thrown into doubt
Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani has made a second bid to buy Manchester United, it is understood. The Qatar Islamic Bank chair – who is also the son of a former Qatari prime minister – placed his second-round offer late on Friday night.
A source close to the bid says the Qataris remain confident of completing a takeover at Old Trafford despite rival interest from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus.
