Saudia Arabia is allegedly lining up a takeover bid for Manchester United.
Well-placed sources believe Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman - whose family is worth around £850billion (N405.6trillion) - wants to take on Middle East rivals like the Abu Dhabi-based owners of Manchester City.

And they think he is ready to sanction a bid by an individual or a move backed by the money of the oil-rich state to take a stake in United or, ideally, to buy the club outright.

Even if United’s owners, the Glazer family, were willing to consider selling, it would cost the Saudis more than £3billion (N1trillion).

But they have the money and, it is said, the desire to make a big splash in football.

Saudi Arabia has already made investments in sport through deals with F1 and WWE.

But so far its biggest play in football has been banning Qatar's beIN SPORTS from broadcasting in the country.

BeoutQ, a firm allegedly based in Saudi Arabia, has been pirating the beIN SPORTS coverage of the Premier League.

Buying into United would be a massive statement in the wider financial and political battles being fought between the Gulf states.

The Glazers’ attitude to selling all or part of the club they have owned since 2005 is unclear.

But it has been noted that co-chairman Avram Glazer has been spending significant amounts of time in Saudi Arabia recently.

Avram is due to attend the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh later this month, along with leading bankers and investors from around the world and key figures from the Saudi administration.

United already have a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia’s General Sports Authority to help develop football there as part of the Crown Prince’s 2030 Vision project to change the country.

But independent sources believe the Saudis are ready and willing to make the relationship far more significant.

Any deal would be expensive and tough to negotiate.
