Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is determined to complete a takeover at Manchester United, Sky Sports report.
The Lowdown: Bid made
Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe both made offers for the club before the soft deadline set by the Glazers last month.
The current Manchester United owners have placed a ÂŁ5bn valuation at Old Trafford, with reports believing both Jassim and Ratcliffeâs bids are set to be rejected. However, it looks as if Jassim may not go away quietly, with the Qatari extremely keen on completing a deal.
The Latest: Sky Sports update
Sky Sports provided an âupdateâ regarding Jassim and Manchester United on Tuesday afternoon.
They said âitâs understoodâ that Jassim is âdetermined to buyâ the club and feels he has made a âvery good offerâ.
They add that he wouldâve liked to have attended Wembley for the Red Devilsâ Carabao Cup final victory on Sunday but felt it was ânot appropriateâ.

The Verdict: Long process
Manchester United supporters once again made their feelings known towards the Glazers during the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, so this update on Jassim may well be welcomed by those wanting the current owners out.
However, Avram Glazerâs presence at Wembley could be telling, with some believing that the Americans may stay involved at Old Trafford despite entertaining offers.
Reports elsewhere believe that a takeover could be delayed until the end of the season, so this will be a situation to monitor closely over the coming months, with Jassim potentially involved until the process reaches a conclusion.
