Two-and-a-half months after the Glazer family initially announced that they were putting Manchester United on the market, the takeover process is beginning to heat up.
Lifelong United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe had already publicly confirmed that he would be bidding for the club, but reports on Tuesday night revealed that a group of wealthy Qatari investors are now ready to launch a bid of their own to acquire the club from the Glazers.
According to The Daily Mail, the Qatari group are confident that their package will 'blow the competition out of the water' and are willing to hand Erik ten Hag a substantial transfer war chest to take Manchester United back to the pinnacle of European football.
