Saudi Arabia Gets More Serious about Buying Manchester United

VIVA – Saudi Arabia is rumored to make an offer for elite Premier League Club Manchester United ahead of the bidding deadline on Friday. It is known, some private parties in Riyadh have formally requested some information and may buy the club.

Previously, several names interested in taking over the Red Devils began to emerge. A few days ago, Elon Musk was reportedly serious about having the club and was looking for opportunities for that.

In addition, the billionaire owner of the chemical company INEOS and one of the richest people in England, Jim Ratcliffe, also announced his intention to make an offer to Manchester United last month. 

Not only the two billionaires but there is also the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani who is said to be interested in buying Manchester United.

On the other hand, Manchester United is the fourth richest football club in the world according to Deloitte's analysis. No wonder, if many companies and billionaires are competing to buy it.

The club has been owned by the Glazer Family since 2015. The family has long been urged to step down by MU fans over the years due to the club's declining achievements since they took over.
