[Mirror] Sheikh Jassim successful bid to be announced - Qatari sources Al-Watan
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has confirmed that he's still in the race to buy Manchester United alongside an increasingly concerned Sheikh Jassim, all while Erik ten Hag wants to make Andre Onana his second summer transfer
Too much smoke for there not to be a fire for this one. This is reported in the Qatari media.
BBC had also speculated in the morning that Qatar is the front runner. Looks like we’ll hear something in the English media tomorrow. Just unfortunate that the fans are just bystanders in this ‘business transaction’.
People keep saying that this will bring in money. The issue is that we never had, or should have a money problem. The Glazers did that to the club.
In either case, I hope whoever it is helps Ten Hag build the squad, the club improve infrastructure and also help the city as a whole.
I don't speak Arabic and I don't trust google translate to get nuance, so I'm going to copy and paste a comment from a different forum I frequent:
"the entire thing is a joke. Al Watan never reported anything. Any person who properly reads Arabic knows that the tweet itself started with “news reports:” and that it indicates the tweet was aggregating, similar to the bbc rumors page or a filler article that says “reports in Spain suggest…” with no info claimed of its own.
the editor was retweeting fake Fabrizio Romano accounts. He was simply fooled into thinking there’s were substantive reports elsewhere that the deal was done, and made a tweet indicating that “News reports:”The paper has tweeted 3-4 times in the past few months doing the same aggregating on Guardian articles, and even the Sun staying sheikh Jassim would buy West Ham if he failed at United.
It is a joke that it even made it to the stage where questions were being asked and so many misled, there never was a claim that it was done by the Qatari paper, period. "
