According to the source, tonight the current owners of Manchester United, the Glazer brothers, will suspend the "auction" for the sale of the English club. Earlier, Qatari investors and British entrepreneur Jim Ratcliffe offered 4.5 billion pounds, but the current MU bosses are not satisfied with this amount. Sheikh Jassim is ready to increase his offer to 6 billion pounds.

Qatari investors are confident in this acquisition. They intend to get rid of the club's debt, rebuild the Old Trafford stadium and upgrade the training facilities, and head coach Eric Ten Hag will be able to count on an "unlimited" transfer budget.
