Qatari investors will bid for Manchester United within DAYS and are ‘confident’ of blowing any competitors out of the water – and they want to hand Erik ten Hag a HUGE transfer kitty.

 

Qatari investors are planning an incredible mega-money swoop for Manchester United and want to give manager Erik ten Hag the financial backing to lead the club back to the top, Sportsmail can reveal.

 

Sources have disclosed a group of private, high-wealth individuals based in the oil-rich state, buoyed by Qatar’s hosting of the World Cup, have set their sights on a club they view as ‘football’s crown jewels’.

 

The Glazer family, who currently own the club, have set a deadline for formal bids later this month.

 

The Glazers are understood to have set a £6billion asking price for any interested parties.

 

However, the Mail’s report adds there’s a potential stumbling block due to Qatari Sports Investments’ ownership of Paris Saint-Germain.

 

One entity is not allowed to enter two clubs in the same competition, with the French giants and Red Devils potentially meeting in Europe.

 

The bid for Man United would thus need to come from separate, individual Qatari investors. It’s said that only a full-blown takeover is being discussed.

 

The takeover would need Premier League approval and may face opposition in some quarters, given concerns over Qatar’s human rights record.
