An unconfirmed reports emerging from the Manchester United takeover saga suggest that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamas Al Thani of Qatar has bought the club from the Glazers.
Earlier on, InsightNewsgh.com reported that Sheikh Jassim is believed to have offered Manchester United a fifth, improved bid valued at £6bn.
Well, Citi Sports are claiming that the ‘confused’ Glazers family has finally accepted the final ‘take it or leave’ offer by Sheikh Jassim to buy Manchester United 100%.
The tweet by the renowned media house has stirred mixed reactions among Man United fans on social media.
Some believe this definitely a fake news since the news has been shared by some popular journalist like Fabrizio Romano or Sky Sports Chief reporter, Kaveh Solhekol ( who seems to know everything concerning Man United sale brouhaha).
Others on the other hand also believe because the news has been shared on the media house’s official Twitter handle which has also been shared by popular Ghanaian Sports journalist, Gary AI-Smith.

We can’t confirm this news until we have seen an official release from Man United.
It’s been 7 months since the Glazers announced that they were open to selling Manchester United after 17-years.
However, the two main potential runners to takeover from Glazers that’s Sir Jim Radcliffe and Sheikh Jassim are yet to hear from the owners.
And accroding to reports, Sheikh is frustrated and fed up with the bidding process over the Manchester United sale.
Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe both publicly acknowledged initial offers in February, and the latter is believed to have made a fifth offer this week to buy United.
The offer for 100% of the club is still on the table, and those involved in Sheikh Jassim’s bid have said this will be the last offer.
This latest offer follows what was referred to as a “final offer” in late April, according to Sky News, who also understands that Sheikh Jassim’s bid team won’t participate in the process after Friday.
