The Qatari royal family was mentioned as the ones interested in striking a deal with Manchester United. Apparently, it is nearing completion.
The Glazers have never managed to avoid the spread of their controversial image within unsatisfied Manchester United fans. Now according to the Daily Express, the chairman of Qatar Holdings who is also the prime minister of this Arabic country, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani, is looking to expand his acquisitions in the world of business by replacing the Glazers.

Will they be active on the upcoming transfer markets as big money spenders Manchester City?
In fact, the prospective takeover of the Qatar royal family at Old Trafford is a massive warning to all clubs in Europe as Manchester United are "success experts". Their history speaks for itself, actually...
