Manchester United takeover: Qatari billionaire Sheikh Jassim has threatened to withdraw from the process after submitting a fifth bid earlier in the week.

Desperate Manchester United fans online are tracking a flight from Qatar in the hope Sheikh Jassim is on his way to seal a takeover of the club. The mysterious billionaire submitted a fifth offer for the Red Devils earlier in the week. However, he also threatened to withdraw from the process on Friday if he doesn’t get the answer he’s looking for.

United fan page @UtdPaper took to Twitter to share a screenshot of a flight from Rimini in Italy to London Heathrow.

Using Flightradar24, the journey in question is being undergone by a ‘Qatar Executive’.And desperate fans on social media are hoping Sheikh Jassim is somehow involved, despite no evidence he or any of his consortium are on board.
