"If I was one of the other groups looking to buy Manchester United, I would be worried that the Qataris have come in and said they definitely want to buy Manchester United. "If you look at the investments they have made in the past, PSG for example who are worth £3bn-£4bn, they bought the club for around £60m to £70m. "It also helps that the president of PSG is on the UEFA Executive Committee. "There are ways around that UEFA rule - we have seen RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig play in the Champions League regularly and they are both owned by Red Bull. So if Man United and PSG were both owned by Qatari Sports Investments, then they cannot play against each other in the Champions League. They will not dance to the Glazers' tune when it comes to price. How would that work if Man United and PSG had owners who were linked to each other? They bought the rest of the shares in PSG the following summer in a deal which valued the club at €100m. A Qatari bid for United would mean they would own Old Trafford and could redevelop it working closely with the local council and supporters. Although the Glazer family want at least £5bn for United, Qatar is determined not to overpay. QSI bought a 70 per cent stake in PSG in the summer of 2011. One of the world's richest men Elon Musk has so far stayed silent on reports that he is considering making a bid.

"I've touched it past him and my foot's in front of the ball, I'm one-on-one with the goalkeeper, he hits my leg and it's clear contact. "We did well to get back into the game. "I've not watched it back, but in the moment I don't understand why the linesman or the referee think I'm going down there. You can discuss if it's in the box or outside the box, but definitely it's a red card. It was a really bad decision and I can't understand.

In 1998/99, the year of the Treble saw United win the Premier League by a point against Arsenal, beat Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup final and was topped off with an amazing win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. It was around this time I would see singer Terry Hall of The Specials in the local pub. It always felt if United won you had a better week, but if they lost there was a little cloud in the back of your mind for the rest of the week. We won the FA Cup in 1963 and the star team began the road to success, winning the league in 1965 and 1967, followed by the amazing game against Benfica, beating them 4-1 to win the European Cup. George Best became known as the fifth Beatle, as he had a similar haircut and was young and stylish in comparison to many footballers at the time, who still had a post-war look. He opened a boutique and became a football pop star.

There will then be numerous bidders in the second and third groups. That is widely believed to be their preferred outcome, although that could all change depending on the offers they receive. Around five bidders are thought to be looking to buy the club as a whole, and so take a place in the first group mentioned above. It is likely that anyone who bids for the club will make a public statement in order to raise their profile and, frankly, bask in the limelight that United offer. [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-16/qatari-royals-said-to-plan-5-billion-opening-bid-for-man-united?sref=8HTMF4ka) report that a group from the [Qatar](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/qatar) [Royal family](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/royal-family) are set to place an opening bid of £5bn for the club. [Groups in Saudi Arabia are also in the race](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-takeover-saudi-arabia-29237112), and would be confident of getting together the money needed for a takeover. Qatar vs Saudi Arabia is looking likely to be the heavyweight battle for United, but there is still interest in the club from Asia and America. The first is the group of bids that are for the full ownership of the club, with the Glazers looking for around £6bn to sell United in its entirety. The bidders in the second group will be looking to buy a stake in the club, taking minority ownership and injecting cash into it in order to help with costs. It is possible for those in the second and third groups to come together and form a consortium capable of raising the money to enter the first group. The unpopular American owners are said to be seeking around £6bn for the club they took over in 2005, and with interest in United from around the globe extremely high, there are several different offers expected to be put on the table.

It happened the same in Milan in the Champions League,” he said. It was a really bad decision and I can’t understand. For me it’s quite incredible what has happened.” “I asked the referee why, so he said it was outside the box and was no foul,” the United boss said. “You can discuss if it’s in the box or outside the box, but definitely it’s a red card.” “If you face number one of Spain in an away game and you are the dominant team, you can see this as a positive,” United boss Ten Hag said.

The latter is the responsibility of a Premier League under huge pressure from fans and the Government to demonstrate its competence. The Premier League is at the epicentre of this phenomenon and United are its biggest asset. Almost two months on from that monumental, [unforgettable final](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/lionel-messi-footballing-god-argentina-world-cup-final-victory-2036196?ico=in-line_link), the Qatar dividend is still paying out with entirely positive associations. Should [the Qatari bid](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/qatar-buy-manchester-united-reported-bid-explained-2137411?ico=in-line_link) prove successful it really would feel like the game we knew, a sport embedded in community, with an identity indelibly linked to the locale, has finally run out of road. For a fraction of the price Qatar could continue its assault on perceptions with the purchase of United, effectively getting World Cup bang for their buck every week in the Premier League. The same historical forces that made City a target for the nation builders of Abu Dhabi 14 years ago, and that perverted the competitive landscape as a consequence, have United by the balls.

Our visitors have played seven league games since the conclusion of the World Cup in late December, and won just two in that run. Both victories have come in their last two games, however, allowing them to build confidence and momentum in the run-up to their appearance at Old Trafford on Sunday. It has been a hit-and-miss season for Leicester City so far. All three points saw us extend the gap to fourth-placed Newcastle to four points. On the contrary, Casemiro returned for our trip to Spain but will miss Leicester’s visit as he serves the final game of his three-match domestic ban, following the red card he picked up against Crystal Palace. Youri Tielemans could also be a late call for Sunday, while James Justin and Jonny Evans remain out.
