Manchester United Old Trafford
Qatari investors are planning to make an incredible move for Manchester United in the coming days, according to The Daily Mail’s Mike Keegan.
The Lowdown: Mid-February deadline
News first emerged back in November regarding the possibility of the Glazers selling the club. The American owners valued United at £5bn, with speculation on Sir Jim Ratcliffe potentially taking over at Old Trafford coming out last month.
A deadline of mid-February has been set when it comes to possible buyers making offers, and it looks as if a group of private, high-wealth individuals from Qatar are keen on a deal.
The Latest: In the coming days
Keegan shared a story for The Daily Mail on Tuesday evening regarding Qatari investors and United.
He said that an incredible mega-money offer is expected in the coming days, with Qatari investors confident their bid will blow the competition out of the water. The report says that Erik ten Hag would get a huge transfer kitty, should a takeover go through.
Keegan has since added on Twitter that the Qatari group want ‘things done quickly’ so they can help Ten Hag with funds, with ‘experts working on the bid’.
The Verdict: Exciting
Potential Qatari investors could help take the club back to the top both on and off the pitch by backing Ten Hag in the window and improving facilities.
It looks as if they have the right intentions in mind, with stadium redevelopment and fan engagement also at the heart of their bid.
Therefore, many will see this as an exciting update, and it appears as if this month could be pivotal in regards to the Glazers potentially ending their almost 18-year stay at the club, making it a situation to keep an eye on.
