Manchester United are set to receive a new takeover bid from a group of Saudi Arabian royals, according to reports.
The Arab nation’s ruling family have already made two offers to buy the 20-time English champions, but both were rebuffed by the Glazer family.
The most recent bid was worth a whopping £3 billion, but the Saudis were told that the club is not for sale at any price.
There have been numerous calls for the six Americans to sell up in recent years, particularly as United have not won a Premier League title since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.
His stake is worth £270m and was made available on the New York stock exchange in recent weeks, fuelling speculation that the wider family may be considering a change of approach.
United are just one point above the relegation zone ahead of Sunday’s meeting with league leaders Liverpool, but they remain an attractive proposition to investors and businessmen around the world.
The Red Devils are still one of the biggest clubs in world football, and they announced a record £627m of revenue last month.
