MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has stepped up his attempt to buy Manchester United by stating his intention to make a second bid for the iconic soccer team. The chairman of Qatar Islamic Bank has said he wants to return the club to the summit of the sport if he is successful in buying out current owners the Glazer family.

United is expected to become the the most expensive sports team in history.
