Manchester United continue to
be linked with a takeover bid by Qatar Holdings.
The Mirror says Qatar Holdings will fly to the USA this
week in a bid to broker a deal to buy Manchester United from the Glazer family.
Chairman of Qatar Holdings – an investment vehicle for the
Qatari Royal Family – Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani,
who is also Qatar’s Prime Minister, has instructed their team of
high-powered lawyers to thrash out an agreement with the Glazer
family.
The Glazers last week denied reports they were ready to sell the
club.
Qatar Holdings are said to have set aside £2.5 billion to
acquire Manchester United, which
would make them the wealthiest club in the world with unrivalled
spending power.
