Reading further his family owns the outlet….probably the biggest update we’ve had yet.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

It's half owned by
Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. A lot of pro Qatar stuff this week.
Who is SJ's pops right?
I've seen this mentioned a few times now and I'd like to know where the feck you and others where many months ago when the fan groups were begging for him to buy the club and he came on national television and said that he's spoke to the Glazers are length about it and that they didn't want to sell. He even said then and there that any future she would probably have to be a majority stake until further down the line when they were all ready to step aside.
It's literally been there in front of everyone for many months. Whilst fans had his face on banners, asking him to buy the club. It is yours and others issue if you weren't paying attention.
Well, one explanation, if he were to do that, as it seems he wants to, is that it is in fact more than an investment and he actually cares about the club. Like you said, why else would he be willing to invest so much and not own everything? Perhaps he wants to take a sensible approach, let the club fund itself and just be run properly.
Could any of our Arabic speaking friends translate?
Well that does seem like a big update. I don't put much faith in what journos but it would be very embarrassing if his family's paper posts that the deal is done and it doesn't happen
Press reports:
The success of Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Jassim’s acquisition of #مانشستر_يونايتد .. and the announcement of the deal soon

According to Google translate:

Probably Keegan?
Yes
It's not on the newspaper website itself. Might just be an unverified twitter rumour like the BBC sometimes does.

Alhamdulillah if true. Let's get this over with so we can move on and start planning for the future.
Well, the fans didn't pay attention then but they have and they don't like it. Especially giving that his major rival for the bid didn't even consider going that route.
Their website Twitter link (top right of their homepage) links to that account.
What's the history of these sources, do they like to waffle?
This is the first time in 7 months that any Qatar source has said the deal is close
Im excite

It’s on like donkey kong.
Could be. Might be some bizarre games. Then again it may be true. I'm waiting for for Ben Jacobs to cover all bases again.
Haha
Please announce soon, I'm sick of the uncertainty
Another Qatari journalist has said "very soon" with a picture of the Qatari flag over OT as well.
Inshallah.
He’s desperately tapping out a tweet right now that makes it sound like he had some info earlier this evening and that aligns with what we have all just read at the same time as him.
Bellend.
This looks too dodgy for me to believe it.
Same
This is serious, Al thani's old man owns that publication they wouldn't be putting it out unless true. Welcome to Manchester Mbappe
Inshallah!!!!
Racist.
Bad news

Manchester United "Qatari" .. 100%

Its a bit odd but it’s spreading around Twitter like wild fire
It’s a legit news site that’s part owned by his father so unless there’s something lost in translation Id say it’s the biggest update yet. Let’s see if UK press get hold of it
They are also listed as a News and Media Organisation. It’s legit. Whether the news is I don’t know but that account is.
Here we go, Qatar flags at the ready boys
Too much smoke now for it to be lies.
Too much smoke now for it to be lies.It's United and purchases, soon could mean next year going off the Sancho deal
According to wiki, SJ’s dad owns this, but wiki is not reliable either..
That’s not the same tweet. That says it’s going slowly but they will announce soon.
The new tweet is announcing they have won.
