Sheikh Jassim withdraws bid to buy Manchester United
Manchester United fans or fans of other football clubs your views and opinions please on Sheikh Jassim reportedly withdrawing his bid of £5,000,000,000 to buy Manchester United? Uncertainty around our club 25% of stake to be bought by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Was it the right thing to do in terms of the best of interest for our club and us fans, where did it go all wrong and what’s next for Manchester United 
Withdrawing 5 billions? if it was intended to get the majority of holdings as service in return, the failure of that deal ended up well.
Disappointed but at the same time who can blame him? This whole selling the club thing's been going on since like february and barely and progress is being made

Not surprised you are gutted. The Glazers have been awful for Man Utd and they are not leaving any time soon it seems. I guess they want to squeeze some more money out of the club. Crazy considering £5bil is a huge amount of money.

Was looking forward to the fixing of the holes and water leakage of Old Trafford and expansion in capacity, the investment in Carrington and new facilities, the removal of deadwood and the implementation of footballing figures as well as super stat signs like Frenkie De Jong, Victor Osimhen, Eduardo Camavinga and Kylian Mbappe and everything it’d take and to do from Sheikh Jassim for us to overleap Manchester City again 😭

It is amazing how big the gap between Man City and Man Utd is these days.

They're everything we used to be - innovative & forward thinking off the pitch whilst successful on it.
Meanwhile we're just one giant tribute act to the 1990s.

Culture -
the board at city judge there success by the trophies cabinet first and having steady sustainable growth, and engaging with their fans.
the board at united are primarily interested in maximising in the annualised cash flow, dividends & pretending the historical culture and fan base is theres by right of commercial ownership whilst despising the community who have built the club.
the reality is the glazers would happily turn old Trafford into ash if it put an extra zero on the end of there account whereas City would happily double their investments if it was in the benefit the long term potential.

Do you feel like Man City owners did a favour by buying Man City and therefore keeping "Manchester" in Man Utd as relevant?

Yes completely agree about culture and different aims of the owners/boards. Man City also take good decisions for the long term (even if short term pain) whereas Man Utd constantly make short term decisions which causes more issues long term. Just poorly run.
If Man Utd wasn't such a brand, the club would've tumbled down to mid-table mediocrity by now after a decade of sub-par decision making.
