Manchester United are set to rebuild with huge investment from their new Qatari owners — with Erik ten Hag able to spend millions to compete with the best.
That’s according to an exciting report for United fans that says the club is close to making a takeover that would reaffirm the Red Devils as the richest club in the world.
In addition to huge spending on the transfer market, the new owners are apparently also interested in helping the community. Qatar’s monarch, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is apparently a huge United fan and following the excitement of last year’s World Cup, the country is looking to expand its involvement in the sport.

According to the mail (opens in new tab) source, “These people are serious. They want to make sure United are where they need to be and they are confident that their offer will be the strongest.
“They want to strengthen the squad to get them back to the top, but they also want it to be in the best interest of the community.”
The report also states that the investors linked to the Old Trafford team are a different group than those who own Paris Saint-German, Qatari Sports Investments.
United also expect interest from Sir Jim Ratcliffe (opens in new tab)owner of Ligue 1 side Nice, while another fan, UFC star Conor McGregor, also touted potential buying (opens in new tab) the club.

According to Transfer market (opens in new tab), United spent nearly €250 million in the transfer market this season, with Antony and Casemiro as two headliners. However, with the Red Devils limited to loans in January, their purchasing power would not be questioned under Qatari ownership.
Should the bid be successful, both sides of the city would be owned by Middle Eastern groups, with Manchester City in control of the UAE-based City Football Group.
