According to the Associated Press, BBC, Sky Sports, etc. on the 18th (Korean time), Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, chairman of Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), has acquired Manchester United from the Malcolm Glazer family, an American sports conglomerate, through his foundation, the Nine Two Foundation. Submitted a proposal.
The Glazer family has been working on the sale of Manchester United since November last year. The Associated Press estimated that Manchester United’s current value could reach up to $6 billion (7.8 trillion won).
Chairman Sheikh Jashim, the son of the former Prime Minister of Qatar and a long-time Manchester United fan, issued an official statement saying, “With this bid, we intend to bring United back to its former glory.” We will invest in our infrastructure, local communities, etc.” “The vision of this tender is for Manchester United to gain a reputation for quality football and be recognized as the greatest club in the world,” he said.

Manchester United, which was pushed out of the EPL Big 4, is showing signs of recovery this season, under new manager Erik Ten Haag. Man City are on a quest for a third straight title. If Manchester United is finally acquired by chairman Sheikh Jassim, the world-famous Manderby will be transformed into an oil money derby.
