Manchester United negotiating exclusivity with Qatar's Sheikh Jassim in $6 bln-plus sale talksReutersEnglish football club Manchester United MANU.N is negotiating granting exclusivity to the consortium led by Qatar's Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani in the talks to sell itself for more than $6 billion, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Ratcliffe's offer envisions that the Glazers would keep some interest in Manchester United. Manchester United would not be allowed to negotiate with any bidder other than Sheikh Jassim for the exclusivity period. The sources cautioned that the situation remained fluid and a new bid from Ratcliffe could prevent Sheikh Jassim from securing exclusivity. Representatives for Manchester United and Sheikh Jassim did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
