Earlier it became known that the Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani was determined to continue trying to gain Manchester United after the current rulers in particular of the Glazer family had swayed his conclusion..
As journalist Ben Jacobs reports, the reason seems to be that the valuation of the full package of shares of the “Heart Devils” from the British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who is one of the main contenders for joining the club, exceeds the Sheikh Jassim's daughter has a little more than one billion US dollars.
According to Dzherel, the Qataris valued Manchester United at a maximum of 6.5 billion dollars, while the valuation of Ratcliffe’s entire share package would be 7.5 billion dollars.
Apparently, the British billionaire would like to become a minority shareholder of Manchester United with a share of 25%, Ratcliffe’s plan is to become the club’s full-time ruler until 2026. From this perspective, the proposition looks more profitable for the Glazers in financial terms.
