The Qataris will likely find little opposition at UEFA and the battle is already on for Manchester United fans. But they will need more than £4.5bn to win this race.

But there’s one obvious hurdle to any takeover of an English club by the Qataris. UEFA has rules on this sort of thing, and they Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the chairman of Qatar Sports Investments, is also the head of the European Club Association, which means that he has a seat on the executive committee of, well, UEFA.
What do fans like? Loads of money to be spent on players? How do they like it? In a war chest, for some reason. Knock Old Trafford down and rebuild it. Oh, put something about ‘fan engagement’. They love that sort of thing, for some reason. Yeah, put all of that down. Of course, should a price be agreed and should UEFA bend sufficiently to allow it to happen, no level of protest would be likely to amount to much. The Glazers weren’t removed by the near-two-decade-long campaign against them. The family even maintained ownership after the death of their patriarch Malcolm in 2014.
But the one thing we can for certain is that the Glazers really love money, and there’s plenty of space between the Qatari valuation and that of the Glazers for others to occupy. The Telegraph has reported that bids above £5bn will be ‘entertained’.
