Man Utd takeover: Glazers ‘delay’ amid Sheikh Jassim ‘concern’ as Casemiro sends message to new owners

The Glazer family, who own Manchester United, is reportedly considering delaying a decision over a prospective takeover of the team until after the season.

Following rumors that INEOS Chief Executive Sir Jim Ratcliffe was the favored bidder for the club, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani made a fourth “take it or leave it” offer for the club last week.

The Glazers announced that they were looking into a possible sale or outside investment in the team in November. According to the ESPN article, a decision was initially expected before the season ended, but this now seems improbable.

Ratcliffe’s offer reportedly places a higher value on Man United than the Qatari one, which is claimed to be staggeringly expensive at £5.5 billion and is for a 100% ownership position in the team.

It later came to light that Sheikh Jassim had ‘cooled’ conversations with the Glazers early in the takeover process due to worries over the asking price for the club, making this his fourth bid for the club.

Sheikh Jassim, according to El Pais, was stunned when the Glazers sought £6 billion for the club after first saying they would accept an offer of about £5.2 billion, according to the newspaper.

There are rumors that the Qatari banker may be interested in buying either West Ham or Tottenham, but he is firmly back at the bargaining table and is eager to be engaged in a Premier League club.

Casemiro, a midfielder for Manchester United, has advised any prospective new owner to give Erik Ten Hag plenty of time to lead the team.

The Red Devils defeated Bournemouth 1-0 behind the lone goal from the former Real Madrid player to close the gap in the Champions League to just one point.

Man United only needs one point from their next two league games, at home against Chelsea on Thursday and at Fulham on Sunday, thanks to Liverpool’s contentious 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

The Red Devils won the Carabao Cup in Ten Hag’s debut season thanks in large part to Casemiro, who joined Old Trafford last summer.

And Casemiro wants whoever controls the team at the end of the summer to be able to pay Ten Hag and give him enough time to make the team a title contender.

He has really shocked me with his ambition, remarked the former Real Madrid player.

We’ve been joking around and saying he’s a little heavy since he constantly wants to win. He is requesting more because he feels that 100% is insufficient. We must exert more than our full effort.

He puts in a lot of effort and has high goals. He wants to transform the entire club. All of the players and the supporters regard him as a manager.

But despite the fact that we have already won one championship and are very near to qualifying for the Champions League, I believe we should give him more time because we still need to mature. But it is clear that he is making significant changes within the organization. He consistently displays a will to succeed.
