Arsenal have been warned that two of Mikel Arteta's star players could “stop and think” about moving to Manchester United if Sheikh Jassim’s Qatari delegation complete a mega-money takeover at Old Trafford. The Glazer family, United's current owners, are considering a full sale of the club with a Qatar-based delegation and Sir Jim Ratcliffe interested in completing a majority takeover.
Erik ten Hag has helped United progress as they fight for Champions League qualification for next season whilst the Gunners are locked in a Premier League title race with Manchester City. Arsenal cannot compete financially in the transfer market with City or United, but winning the English top-flight would help them offer a number of crucial players improved terms to stay at the Emirates Stadium.
Bukayo Saka's current contract is set to expire at the end of next season but Arsenal remain confident an agreement can be reached with the Hale End star. Martin Odegaard's current deal runs until 2025 with the Norwegian playmaker likely to be rewarded with a new deal for his brilliant performances this season as Mikel Arteta looks to secure the long-term futures of the core of his squad.
