Sheikh Jassim offers Glazers NFL sweetener with Manchester United bid

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani made his second offer to buy Manchester United this weekend.

A new report from The Sun claims he is trying to sweeten up the Glazers by dangling an NFL-sized carrot in front of them in addition to the Qatari consortium’s bid to buy Manchester United.

It is claimed that Sheikh Jassim has discussed a joint venture with the Glazer family which could see NFL games played in the Middle East.
