New Owner Of Manchester United Circulating To One Name, Announced October Or LebIh Fast

JAKARTA - Sheikh Jassim will become the new owner of Manchester United starting next October. The replacement of this owner could even be accelerated to next month.

According to British media outlet, The Sun, the date for the takeover of MU from the Glazer family has also been set. The Red Devils will reportedly be purchased for 6 billion pounds, equivalent to Rp. 117 trillion.

The Qatari royal family defeated British billionaire Sir Jim Radcliffe, who was willing to allow the Glazer family to remain in possession at the club headquartered at Old Trafford.

Currently, Sheikh Jassim's team is finalizing their due diligence on the club before they end the 18-year rule of Glazers which MU supporters hate.

Purchase of 100 percent of the club's shares is clearly good news for Manchester United fans, who were worried that US businessmen would buy time to keep some of the club's shares.

As is known, the Glazer family has a great desire to continue to hold the club's shares. However, they got from senior figures Old Trafford that the desire would raise a reaction' from fans.

After taking over MU, Sheikh Jassim plans to immediately improve the quality of Old Trafford Stadium and the club's training ground in Carrington.

This takeover also ended the winding process which began when the club installed plans to be sold in November last year.
