Manchester United are the subject of takeover interest from Qatari investors with an eye-watering package which could exceed £8 billion. That is according to the MailOnline, who claim 'a group of private, high-wealth individuals' are considering a move following their country's hosting of the recent World Cup.
Newcastle United currently trail the Red Devils by two points and one place in the Premier League table, following the home draw with West Ham. Eddie Howe's side are also preparing to face their top-four rivals in the Carabao Cup final later this month.
The prospective owners will reportedly make an offer in the 'coming days', ahead of the Glazer family's mid-February deadline for interested parties to come forward. The current owners are said to be asking more than £6bn for the club, with Old Trafford also providing another expensive obstacle.
