Manchester United's owners are finalising the sale of the club to Qatar Holdings, it has been revealed. The Daily Express says United's owners, the Glazer family, are "only haggling over details" with a deal to sell the club to Qatar Holdings virtually done at £1.6 billion.
If that deal is sealed, then Malcolm Glazer and his sons will have doubled their money in six years since they paid £790 million for the club in the summer of 2005.
It would also bring to an end a massively unpopular regime among United's huge fan base.
And it could mean tomorrow 's lunchtime derby with City - now enjoying the riches of ownership by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan - will be the last with United under American ownership.
"The deal is pretty much done and they are only haggling over details," a well-placed source revealed.
Last night, however, a representative of United and the Glazers denied the takeover talks.
