If a takeover of Manchester United is completed it will undoubtedly set some records.
At the moment, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have both tabled offers which would break the world record for the highest fee paid for a sports team. Currently, this record is held by NFL franchise the Denver Broncos.
Rob Walton purchased the Broncos in 2022 for a whopping $4.5bn (£3.5bn). This month, Sheikh Jassim proposed a $5bn (£3.9bn) offer to buy the Reds with a promise of a further $1bn (£790m) investment into the club.
