Similar name, but you’re looking at Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The one buying United is the son of former prime minister HBJ (Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani), who is a massive figure in Qatari politics and has undoubtably gained substantial wealth due to his connection to the state. Also lots of it (allegedly) through some pretty dodgy stuff. Maybe he’ll drop off some suitcases of cash to help fund out transfers?
According to the stories he prefers Fortum & Mason carrier bags to suitcases !
