Does this actually have legs?
I thought it was a silly rumor.

Could Utd be sold soon?
- Thread starter wolvored
- Start date
I like that.This Saudi Prince clearly wants to play real life FM on cheat mode, happily for us he wants to play as Man United
Fingers crossed
I still think it is.
People on Twitter added 2+2 together because a Glazer is going to some conference in Saudi Arabia next week.
The Star picked up on people talking about it and ran a story on it.
The Sun then followed suit.
Then all the rumours caused the Man Utd stock to rise...
Saudi Arabia don't mind this subject being in the news, the Glazers are licking their lips just in case, the papers are getting all their clicks and then Sky come out with their usual contradictory report for more attention...
I don't expect this will come to fruition at all to be honest.
Hard to say right now, Sky have got involved but they've been shaky with their stories for a while now. We'll just have to wait and see if anything develops over the next few weeks.
The Saudis are doing this because they're in the frying pan. Screw them.
That's where it starts. Assuming these rumours aren't complete fabrication and the Saudi are even remotely interested in buying shares in our club, of course.
is this guy richer then the one that owns shitty?
They are not in the same division.
I get the impression the people who voted for Brexit are now posting in this thread #racistCnuts 
Buzzkill.
Yes. They must be gutted that they’ve won 3 Titles in the last 7 years after decades of misery. I can see that.
They ‘were’ the definition of desperate.
who is the richest?
I wouldn’t hold your breath on a bit of a demo doing the trick if this one happens. The demo would dissipate fairly quickly as they all legged it back inside to watch The latest stellar signings turn out.
The Saudis, by an absolutely enormous margin.
thanks.
This is your view and I respect but disagree with it. Ownership means a lot. If ownership meant nothing, they would not buy the club. The fact that they would buy United by common sense means that ownership means something.
This is just useless part of your post and you should really think before you try to insult entire fanbase of the club.
What does "improving the club" mean to you? Why would any United fan want any direct association of the club with a regime that has serious human rights violations stacked against them? Have some respect for your club.
There's a clear difference between a company or club owner being based in a country and a club owner being the ruling family governing the whole country. If you can't see that then i don't know what to tell you...So the majority do not want the immoral Saudis while the same lot are quite happy to be strung along by a family from the only country to have used a nuclear bomb...
Sounds like a silly rumor - between the failed Aramco IPO, the failed Tesla takeover and Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance/murder, MbS got bigger fish to fry at the moment.
Hope it's true mainly cuz it would mean we can finally get rid Jones and Smalling and buy a decent defender.
A fast camel could partner Smalling instead of Jones.
Mansour family is worth $1 trillion, Saudi family $1.4 trillion.
Interesting, I gotta say though I'm feeling very conflicted on this:

They still are. Each day there club remains little more than an advert for a few State.
A camel wouldn't be out of place on the football field. He'd be spitting everywhere and he'd always have the hump, like Pogba and Martial.
They are also in a dick measuring contest right now, so if it happens, be prepared for Qatar vs Saudi Arabia in Manchester.
Its strange, I just don't think Utd would benefit from a state takeover. Would we ever spend more than our annual income anyway? It would guarantee us spending it all on players I suppose and always backing the manager but take the Pogba / Lukaku summers. Would all of this be worth it so we can sign a Verrarti type player alongside them?
I'm pretty sure we can afford Mbappe as we stand

Actually the owners of City are from UAE Royal Family . So it will be UAE vs Saudi Arabia in Manchester . PSG is the team owned by the Qatari Royal Family .
Ok cool.
Haha
Well I'm more thinking of a general purpose stadium outside a new OT like they have over at Eastlands. Also according to this thread they're using United for some good headlines, what better way than to build one?
These new owners would find a way to circumvent FFP just like the owners of City and PSG before them.
OMG some of you one here !!
I dont want oil money here, we would become everything we hate about clubs that have been bought with oil money, but FFS saying you would stop supporting because of it, I just dont get it.
For me your football club is for life , not just when the good times are but also the bad times

Let's get the Saudis in. If nothing else, they'll hopefully put in plans to do a much needed revamp of Old Trafford.
Hope it's true, we can't compete with City anymore so let's cheat too 
I know the Saudis are brutal dictators but imagine no Jones and Young...
Okay, I am officially worrried now.
Hopefully they get a fair trial first.
