Reliable journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed the identity of the UAE group considering a takeover of Manchester United, as a club icon is approached to join the investment vehicle in an ambassadorial role.

United could be subject of takeover

Last week, Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh sent the United fanbase into a frenzy after claiming that negotiations over a sale of the club were at an advanced stage.

Alalshikh took to X and said that a new investor is keen on buying out the Glazer family and co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

United dismissed such suggestions, although it was pointed out that it’s not entirely impossible that the Glazers would be in secret negotiations with an interested party.

It’s believed that the Glazers are open to offers of around £5billion for their stake – a sum that is more than double United’s stock market value.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that the group Alalshikh references was UAE-based. Now, the name of the company eyeing a consortium takeover of United has been revealed by Jacobs, who also confirmed that Eric Cantona has been contacted regarding an ambassadorial position.
