Sheikh Jassim still confident of Man Utd takeover as ‘guarantee’ transfers named
Manchester United are gearing up for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla on Thursday.
Erik ten Hag’s side face a difficult task in Spain after conceding two late own goals in the first leg at Old Trafford last week to draw 2-2. It is a crucial period of the season for United, who then face Brighton in an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday.
