Two years after Sheikh Jasim bin Hamad Al Thani, the entire purchase of Manchester United was attempted, the new contractual development has made the latest speculation. But despite the inauguration, Katri Royal and his nine two foundations have refused to focus on the ambitions of the global game. There is a clear breakdown of the timeline here, the details of their unsuccessful dialect, the new development in the Old Trafford, and the Sheikh Jasim is actually.
None
On August 13, 2025, a major section came into force in the deal between Sir Jim Ratcliffe, his INEOS team and the Glazer family. Known as “Drag-e-Right”, it was buried in the right print of the section, Ratcliffe when he bought 25% of Manchester United in February 2024, allows glazers to sell the entire club-and also forces the Indians to sell their stake-the majority sales are agreed.This mechanism exists to prevent minority stakeholders from obstructing preferred sales by majority owners. Now, despite the clause being active, sources say that sales are unlikely at this time due to a positive relationship between Ratcliff and Glazers.But given that Sheikh Jasim was a runner-up in the last high-station dialect war, many people were surprised whether Khand could rule his interest. These speculations were short -lived.Sheikh Jasim’s camp has made it clear: he has “zero interest” in returning to the conversation table for Manchester United. Instead, their attention has been transferred to the fact that the interiors are saying “mega projects”, including Qatar’s dialect to host the 2036 Olympics.
Sheikh Jasim Bid – Vision, Price and Final Blow
Sheikh Jasim made several bids to buy Manchester United, starting from February 2023, through the nine two foundations. The name of the Foundation paid tribute to the club’s famous “Class of ’92 and promised United to return to Global Football Dominance.The main details of the bid:
- 100% ownership of Manchester United
- Full loan withdrawal
- Large scale investment in Old Trafford, The Training Ground, Youth Development and Community Engagement
- Boli completely liberated debt
Jassim’s group allegedly presented five total dialects, the final proposal reached £ 4.79 billion. This included infrastructure and adequate additional funds for recruitment.However, the glazers gave the club a price of £ 6 billion, and Jassim never eliminated the value difference, despite improving its proposal. He eventually returned from this process in October 2023.after:
- Sir Jim Raycliffe won with a 25% minority stake, which included glazers.
- After the return of Sheikh Jasim, the price of the stock of Manchester United fell rapidly.
- Legal stress emerged: Jassim’s team sent a legal warning after “defamation” comments by Ratcliffe, questioning Jassim’s credibility.
Current of Manchester United – INEOS, Infrastructure and Internal Cool
Since partial acquisition of Sir Jim Raycliffe, Ineos has slowly began restructuring behind the curtain. With implementing major executive and grassroots level changes, Manchester United now operates from a £ 50 million training ground.Despite being the presence of racliffe, minority stakeholders, operating control and effects have brought – especially in sports decisions. He had earlier indicated on the “Hidden Claus” within his agreement, possibly the now-active drag as well as the clause.Nevertheless, despite the theoretical possibility of complete sales, there is no active movement towards changes in the ownership of the majority, especially out of the picture with Jasim.

Under his leadership, QIB has become the top Islamic bank of Qatar by controlling more than 42% of the Islamic banking market by 2019. The bank showed excellent financial performance during the epidemic and intensified its digital change.Jasim’s broad interests in sports, finance and logistics are now changing around Qatar’s global ambitions, especially the 2036 Olympic bids. This new strategic direction indicates a change away from the ownership of the European Football Club.
Last Words: Boli over, chapter closed
Despite the technically open door open due to the “drag with” section, Sheikh Jasim’s Manchester United Boli is no longer in playing. His departure was one of the most high-profile and ambitious acquisition efforts in modern football.Set on hosting Olympics and other global projects with Qatar’s eyes, football ambitions of nine two foundations are being sheltered indefinitely – closing this chapter in Old Trafford for once and for all.
