Qatar-based investment group to bid for Man Utd WITHIN DAYS

QATARIS are in the running to buy Manchester United.

The Glazers revealed in November that they were willing to listen to offers for either a stake in the Premier League giants or an outright purchase.

A number of parties have expressed an interest in buying United, which could be purchased for a world-record price for a sports franchise at close to, or above, £6billion.

Interest comes from the Far East, Middle East and United States with Raines Group, the merchant bank tasked with the sale.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who happens to be a Man Utd fan, is also keen.

But according to the Daily Mail, a Qatar-based investment group will bid for Man Utd.

The report states that “a group of private, high-wealth individuals based in the oil-rich state, buoyed by Qatar’s hosting of the World Cup, have set their sights on” the Old Trafford club.

An offer is expected to be made in the coming days ahead of the mid-February deadline set by the Glazers.

The investment group are said to be confident that their bid blow any competition out of the water, and want to significantly boost manager Erik ten Hag’s transfer kitty.
