Man Utd sale: Qatari investors to lodge takeover bid 'in days' with huge transfer kitty

A group of Qatari investors are expected to launch a blockbuster takeover bid for Manchester United 'in days', according to reports, and are ready to provide Erik ten Hag with significant financial backing to take the club back to the top.

The Glazer family, who announced back in November that they were open to selling the club, have set a mid-February deadline for interested parties to lodge bids for United.
