Rumours yesterday that Utd are in talks with the Saudi Royal family about a potential takeover.
Very little substance to the story and it was only reported in a tabloid and these things come and go on a regular basis but the royal family is worth £810 billion so they're one of the few people who could buy it but given their hard stance on certain things not sure I really see them going into football in the same way Abu Dhabi & Qatar have.
Following this story someone else reported that the Glazers are not looking to sell but have been in talks with Saudi over possible investment into the club.
Got me thinking the Glazers seem a pretty despicable bunch but whoever gets the club off them next are going to be just as bad if not worse the club is currently valued at something like £4bn which basically makes that dream of any sort of fan ownership/representation within the club impossible.
