Paris Saint-Germain 's Qatari owners have told the club to 'aggressively' slash their wage budget amid speculation that they're interested in buying Manchester United.
Although's PSG state-backed hierarchy insist that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani 's attempts to purchase United have nothing to do with the French club, critics claim that it's simply a matter of semantics. Sheikh Jassim, chair of the Qatari Islamic Bank (QIB), has lodged an official bid to the Glazer family which United's owners are currently mulling over alongside Sir Jim Ratcliffe 's takeover offer.
The English club are up for sale but recent reports suggest that United's executive co-chairmen, brothers Joel and Avram Glazer, are both reluctant to selling their family's entire majority stake in the club which they've possessed since 2005. Avram is also preparing to be at Wembley on Sunday to watch the Red Devils face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, which would be a rare appearance at one of United's games.
