      The Glazers are hoping for a full sale of United for around £6billion.
      But Uefa were today urged to block any offer from the Middle Eastern country due to concerns over Qatar’s ties to Paris Saint-Germain.
      However, it’s reckoned European football’s governing body will not KO a bid from Qatar.
      And a previous report had claimed that Old Trafford could be DEMOLISHED and rebuilt if the Qatar group completes their United takeover.

      United have already appointed a team of leading consultants to create a “masterplan” for the redevelopment of the Theatre of Dreams.
      They are believed to have consulted with the architects of Tottenham’s state-of-the-art 63,000-seater stadium.
      Now YouTuber Bondibot has created three potential designs – but supporters are not that impressed.
      The first shows Old Trafford with an expanded capacity to 74,310 and the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand getting a complete redesign.

      The next one featured a 360-degree facade like the Allianz Arena in Germany with a new roof and expanded Sir Alex Ferguson stand.
      And, should the Qataris buy the club, another was drafted up to show a new training ground sitting where Old Trafford currently is with a new mega stadium nearby.
      But the fan reaction to the images on Twitter were not great, with one describing it as “a metal bedpan?”
      Others believed it looked like a “spaceship from the future” while fellow Twitter users described it as a “giant toilet seat”. More

      How Man Utd could line up under Elon Musk with world’s second richest man to spend millions on Kane, Bellingham and more

      by

      ELON MUSK has become the latest billionaire linked with a Manchester United takeover – fuelling speculation of a transfer splurge.The unpopular Glazer family revealed in November they were willing to listen to offers for either a stake in the club or an outright purchase.

      British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe – who happens to be a United fan – is in the race alongside rival Qatari investors.
      But according to the Daily Mail, Twitter and Tesla owner Musk is also monitoring the situation.

      It is not the first time the South African-born second richest man in the world has teased taking over United.
      With a net worth of around £157BILLION, United fans would be dreaming of an unlimited transfer budget.

      Keeper David de Gea is still yet to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the season, leading to speculation over his future.
      Porto and Portugal’s Diogo Costa is among those linked with United alongside Bayern Munich’s Yann Sommer.
      United are building a solid foundation at the back but Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries is believed to still be a transfer target.
      In midfield, England team-mates Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham are two of United’s long-standing targets.

      So too is Wolves’ Ruben Neves, which would compliment a midfield already made up of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
      Going forward, Barcelona’s 20-year-old sensation Ansu Fati has emerged as someone United are monotiring.
      But it is the striker position that has fuelled the most rumours, with England captain Harry Kane still linked with the club.
      Victor Osimhen is an alternative but Napoli are understood to value the Nigerian at over £100m.
      But if wannabe astronaut Musk takes over, out of this world fees for players will quickly become the norm. More
