Sheikh Jassim considering buying West Ham instead of Man United

Prospective Manchester United buyer Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani is considering buying West Ham if he fails in his bid for the Red Devils, according to reports. Sheikh Jassim has recently lodged a fourth bid to buy Man United from the Glazers in its entirety, a recent report revealed. According to the report, Qatar Investment Bank - headed up by the Sheikh - is now "beginning to assess other entry options in the Premier League, and the first option is West Ham, whose stands are full every week, along with Tottenham, which has the largest stadium in London " The Glazer family tends to accept the offer of Britain's richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe because it will allow the American family to keep 20% of the club's shares, while Sheikh Jassim wants to buy United entirely. The bid by the French Qatari owners of Nice was said to have offered approximately £6 billion, with Joel and Avram Glazer retaining a few shares. However, with rival bidder Sir Jim Ratcliffe the Glazer's preferred bidder, the Qatari banker may miss out. Despite this, he remains determined to buy into the Premier League.
