Since Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United, the club has made remarkable progress, placing themselves third on the Premier League points table after 21 matches. They are just three points behind local rivals Manchester City while leaders Arsenal enjoy an eight-point cushion over the Red Devils. A massive reason behind the sharp improvement has been the elite brand of football that the new manager, Erik ten Hag, has established in the club.

Taking note of United's return to form, a group of Qatari investors have taken an active interest in a takeover. Sources reveal that these individual investors view Manchester United as a 'crown jewel' in football. They will make an offer for the PL club in the coming days, ahead of the mid-February deadline set by the Glazers, and are confident their bid will blow away any competition. They also want to give Erik ten Hag the financial backing to lead the club back to glory.

Massive transfer-budget chest and stadium renovation project set the tone for the possible takeover

If the Qatari bid materialized, it would put Manchester United as a frontline player in transfers, able to compete with the world's wealthiest clubs. The second important factor is the plan regarding United's iconic home, Old Trafford.

Rebuilding the 'theatre of dreams' isn't a project for the faint-hearted. There are numerous proposals in place, the first is to rebuild the stadium, keeping the old structure intact, and the second is to knock down the iconic venue to install a new state-of-the-art facility. Such a project is expected to bill a minimum of 2 billion pounds, a comfortable amount for the Qataris.

Fan engagement has always been central to Manchester United and is also at the heart of this bid as the Qatari Group confirms that they'll seek the views of the fans regarding the future of the iconic ground. However, Fans on Twitter had various opinions about this development. While some rival fans trolled the hypocrisy of the club, some sensible fans made peace with the updates.
