The value of Manchester United has soared on the stock market ahead of the soft deadline for takeover bids to be submitted.
The Glazers have set a soft deadline of February 17 for serious takeover proposals to be submitted and multiple reports emerged on Thursday which suggested there is interest from Qatar, America and Saudi Arabia in acquiring the club.
United drew 2-2 with Barcelona at Camp Nou on Thursday night and the club's value soared shortly after full-time in that Europa League game, with a bid from Qatari investors, in particular, appearing to gather pace prior to the soft deadline.
