  • Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani has submitted a third bid for 100% ownership of Manchester United that is north of £5 billion.
  • Jim Ratcliffe has submitted a revised offer, though the details have not been disclosed.
  • The bids come as Manchester United supporters stage protests against the Glazer family, the current majority owners, demanding a full sale of the club.
  • Raine Group, the US bank overseeing the sale, is looking for offers closer to the Glazer family's £6 billion valuation of the club.
  • The sale of Manchester United could be one of the largest ever for a sports team, with several investors expressing interest in providing financing for the purchase.
