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.
To date, only INEOS chief and lifelong Manchester United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe has gone public with his interest in the club. However, a fresh report from the Daily Mail claims that a group of private, wealthy individuals based in Qatar are ready to firm up their interest with a substantial offer which they believe will 'blow the competition out of the water'.
