Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani is rethinking his takeover bid for Manchester United.

Sky Sports says Sheikh Jassim's group, which had expressed an interest in buying United, may be ready to withdraw their interest.

The bid led by Sheikh Jassim is believed to have offered an inflated price to buy the Glazers out of United, but there are suggestions that there is a feeling they won't be given a chance to complete a deal.

Last week, his father Sheikh Hamad questioned bidding for United by saying he "doesn't like the investment", amid claims they have bid 4.5billion for the club.

United's American owners are also believed to be open to fresh investment in the club that will allow them to retain control of the club.
