'It's happening!' - Manchester United fans react to cryptic Qatari takeover tweet

Manchester United fans have reacted positively to a cryptic tweet from a Qatari journalist as the Emir of Qatar continues to be linked with a bid for the club.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, was expected to make a bid of more than £4bn for United by Friday’s deadline. It is thought that those leading the purchase for the country's ruler value the club at no more than £4.5billion.

The Raine Group is the financial adviser to the Glazers, with the Reds' current owners having set an asking price of £6bn. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has confirmed his company, INEOS, is also interested in buying United.
