Sheikh Jassim lists 10 players he promises to buy after done deal to take over Man Utd

Given that it is believed that the takeover of Manchester United would soon be completed, Sheikh Jassim allegedly wanted 10 players.

The Glazers have been trying to sell United since November 2022, but no deal has come together as of yet.

Sheikh Jassim and British millionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe have reportedly been in the lead for the Old Trafford club purchase.

The Sun claimed on Wednesday that a Qatari financier is nearing an agreement to purchase United for £6 billion, and that the sale might be finished by the middle of October.

Sheikh Jassim reportedly made a list of 10 players he wanted Manchester United to sign back in May.

Sheikh Jassim allegedly sought to organize one of the biggest market assaults in the sport’s history, according to El Pais.

However, some of his initial targets have since moved on as the takeover process went on.

For instance, it was reported that the Qatari was intrigued by athletes like Harry Kane, Kim Min Jae, Alexis Mac Allister, and Adrien Rabiot.

After that, Kane and Kim both signed with Bayern Munich, while Mac Allister joined United’s bitter rivals Liverpool.

Rabiot, a French midfielder, eventually agreed to a fresh one-year deal with Juventus.

There are still six players who could be enticed by a move to Old Trafford despite the fact that four targets have become unavailable.

Victor Osimhen, a striker for Napoli, has been called “phenomenal,” yet the Italian team plans to want at least €100 million.

Dusan Vlahovic, a striker for Juventus, is also rumored to be on Sheikh Jassim’s list and might be a less expensive option than Osimhen.

Additionally, it has been asserted that Sheikh Jassim admires Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Kingsley Coman.

United has won against Wolves and lost to Tottenham Hotspur so far in the 23/24 season, earning three points from two games.

This weekend, the Red Devils will play again when they host Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
