the press announces that Manchester United is going under the Qatari flag!

This is the end of a long file that has been keeping England but also the rest of the football world in suspense for months… At least, if the information published in Qatar were to be confirmed. But it is a medium close to power, Al Watanwho broke the news overnight: Manchester United is now owned by Jassim Bin Hamad Bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani.

There were two candidates for the acquisition of the club, put up for sale by the Glazer family. Qatar therefore, but also the Ineos group, which needs no introduction since it is already established in France via OGC Nice in particular. Qatar has spent 6 billion euros to seize the legendary English club, which has become, unsurprisingly, the most expensive takeover in the history of football.

Manchester United is also thinking of Moussa Diaby!

And PSG in all this?

Al-Watan explains that the acquisition will be formalized shortly. A new era will therefore start on the side of Old Trafford, and one can imagine that there will subsequently be investments to match the ambitions of the club and the Qataris on the transfer window. On the other hand, PSG fans will surely be very attentive to what will happen on the Manchester side.

If on the side of Doha it has been assured for weeks that this takeover will have no consequences for PSG and that the two projects are dissociated, some logically fear that Qatar will now focus more on Manchester United, who, because of playing in Premier League, has greater potential in terms of return on investment but also prestige and competitiveness. In any case, we will soon be fixed…
