Qatar Holdings to hold Man Utd takeover talks in US this week

Manchester United continue to be linked with a takeover bid by Qatar Holdings.

The Mirror says Qatar Holdings will fly to the USA this week in a bid to broker a deal to buy Manchester United from the Glazer family.

Chairman of Qatar Holdings - an ­investment vehicle for the ­Qatari Royal Family - Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr ­Al-Thani, who is also Qatar's Prime Minister, has instructed their team of high-powered lawyers to thrash out an agreement with the Glazer ­family.

The Glazers last week denied reports they were ready to sell the club.

Qatar Holdings are said to have set aside £2.5 billion to acquire Manchester United, which would make them the wealthiest club in the world with unrivalled spending power.
