A bid for Manchester United from a Qatari group is expected this week.

The Glazers revealed in November that they were willing to listen to offers for either a stake in the Premier League giants or an outright purchase.

A number of parties have expressed an interest in buying United, which could be purchased for a world-record price for a sports franchise at close to, or above, 6billion.

The Daily Mail says a Qatar-based investment group will bid for Man Utd.

The report states that "a group of private, high-wealth individuals based in the oil-rich state, buoyed by Qatar's hosting of the World Cup, have set their sights on" the Old Trafford club.

An offer is expected to be made in the coming days ahead of the mid-February deadline set by the Glazers.

The investment group are said to be confident that their bid blow any competition out of the water, and want to significantly boost manager Erik ten Hag's transfer kitty.

As well as coughing up more than 6bn for the club, the Qatari group could face a project of redeveloping, or knocking down Old Trafford and building a new state-of-the-art facility.
