According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Sheikh Jassim no longer considers himself in competition with Sir Jim Ratcliffe to purchase Manchester United.
It is suggested that the Qatari billionaire is now in a favourable position to acquire the club. However, as the Glazers have not provided any clear updates on the situation, it remains uncertain how things will unfold.
Sheikh Jassim perceives Sir Jim Ratcliffe as no longer being a leading contender in the race to acquire United. Instead, the Qatari billionaire now views the Glazer family as the main obstacle in his pursuit of a takeover this summer.
This represents a shift in perception, as Ratcliffe was previously considered to be in a favourable position only a few weeks ago. The dynamics of the potential takeover remain uncertain, awaiting further developments.

Following Sheikh Jassim’s fifth and final bid for Man United, there have been notable changes in the dynamics of the potential takeover.
The Qatari figure, known for maintaining a low profile, has instilled confidence within his camp that they will eventually become the next owners of the club.
Sheikh Jassim believes that the Glazer family has neglected to adequately invest in the team. If the takeover is successful, plans include renovating both Old Trafford and the Carrington training complex under Qatari leadership.
Additionally, Sheikh Jassim is committed to providing transfer backing to manager Erik ten Hag.
While United is on the verge of signing Mason Mount from Chelsea, Ten Hag recognizes the need for further reinforcements to contend for their first Premier League title since 2013.
