The Qatari group aiming to buy Manchester United is eager to improve supporter relations.
The Daily Mail says the bid for United will come from a group of individual Qatari investors. There is no interest in taking a partial stake, with only a full-blown takeover being discussed. Insiders have disclosed that the group want to use the knowledge gained from hosting the World Cup and are seeking a new project.
That would include handing manager Erik Ten Hag a transfer war-chest to allow him to compete for signings with the world's richest clubs.
"There are significant funds available," a source said. "These people are serious. They want to make sure that United are where they should be and they are confident theirs will be the strongest bid.
"They want to strengthen the squad to put them back at the top but they also want this to be for the good of the community.
"They also want to build on the success of the World Cup. They recognise that Manchester United is the biggest football club in the world, the crown jewels, and there is a steely-minded determination to buy it and get it to where it should be."
The Emir of Qatar, head of its absolute monarchy, Sheik Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, is a committed United fan who is well aware of the club's history.
In 2011, it was reported that the Al Thani family had an offer of more than 1bn for United turned down by the Glazers.
