Manchester United bidder Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's camp have responded to claims about their attempts to buy the club.
The Qatari businessman, who is a member of the nation's royal family, is one of the primary candidates to buy the Red Devils.
Sheikh Jassim is competing against Sir Jim Ratcliffe of INEOS, and reports in Qatar stated his bid was the successful one.
However, The Mail suggests that Sheikh Jassim's camp are pouring cold water on those claims.
They state that any suggestions of a winning bid are premature at this stage.
The owners of United, the Glazer family, have not announced whether they are going with a specific bid.
