A bid for Manchester United by the Qatar Investment Authority will be made by the end of the week as they look to buy the club in its entirety, it has been claimed.
Mirror Football understands that the bid has the support of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar.
The rumoured bid will come in time to meet the deadline, imposed by the New York-based merchant bank the Raine Group, for all bids to be submitted by February 17, according to the Telegraph. The Glazers' will view this as a huge positive, amid fears earlier on this week that they would have to drastically drop their asking price.
