Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is ready to meet the Glazer family's asking price for Manchester United, it has been claimed.

The Sun says he is stepping up his £3.8bn takeover bid of Manchester United – in the hope of becoming the new owner by next season.

It comes with United chiefs spending an increasing amount of time in Saudi Arabia.

Now the Saudi royal, whose family are worth around £850BILLION, will hope current owners the Glazer family can be tempted into selling.

Sources around Old Trafford have always denied the Glazers want to sell, but the mega offer could be too good to turn down.

The American family purchased United for £790million almost 14 years ago but saddled the club with huge debt.

But it seems like it will work out pretty well for them if they do sell - making an astronomical £2.2billion profit.
