The groups bidding for Manchester United have received a boost this week.
News has come through that no Saudi bid for Manchester United was made by Friday's deadline.
Per the Mail and other sources, such news could be positive for the Qatari royal family.
A bid has been launched by Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani to fully buy United from the Glazer family.
British billionaire Jim Racliffe is also bidding through his company INEOS.
Meanwhile, The Raine Group have also fielded offers from American hedge funds to either buy the club outright or invest in it and allow the Glazers to remain in control.
