The sale of Manchester United keeps us all on tenterhooks, as the Glazer family has not decided to whom they will sell the club, and everything seems to indicate that the official announcement may not come soon. However, several sources give as favorite Sheikh Jassim Al Thani, a member of the Qatari royal family, as his offer of 6.5 billion would be hard to refuse.

Sheikh Jassim not only put 6.5 billion euros on the table to buy 100% of the club, but he has also promised that if he becomes the new owner of the team he will invest millions of euros to make Old Trafford the best stadium in the world and also Erik ten Hag could have a budget never seen before to bring the best players in the world to our club.

In that sense, Erik ten Hag himself would be delighted with the arrival of Sheikh Jassim, because so far at least three targets seem lost in the current transfer market, as the Dutch tactician has not had the resources to concrete any reinforcement, which could change drastically if there were the financial backing of Qatar, because then no player in the world would be out of reach of our club.

Players of the stature of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar could be a realistic target if finally Sheikh Jassim becomes the new owner. In fact, in previous weeks there was talk of Sheikh Jassim's alleged interest in the Brazilian star, since the relationship between Neymar and PSG seems to be completely broken, so his arrival at Old Trafford would be one of the first moves if the sale of the club to Qatar is finalized. However, in the last few hours a news has emerged that could affect Sheikh Jassim's plans.

Saudi Arabia's offer to take Neymar.

It has been reported that Al-Hilal have sent an entourage to Paris to try to convince Neymar's entonro to sign with them for next season. According to the information, the club that tried to sign Lionel Messi would be willing to offer 200 million euros for Neymar, but for now the player's priority is to stay in European football.
