The rate which Dubai is progressing towards a liberal society both politically and religiously, you kinda half-expect that by 2030 that wouldn't be an issue anymore. All I know is boycotting would cause more harm than international pressure and dialogue.

I think it will likely be this too. Those who missed out from the Chelsea bid plus some new consortiums as well. Can't imagine Middle East interest in the club
Xi is a united fan.
Good for them. But this is reality 2022, not imaginary 2030. They should be nowhere near our club as it stands.
Anyone associated with G.W Bush, is morally dirty. Anyone associated with an Israeli PM, is 100% morally dirty. They are not better than the likes of psg owners.
Absolute nonsense
Dubai investors on red alert to table $10.6bn bid for Manchester United
https://strettynews.com/2022/11/23/dubai-on-red-alert-to-table-10-6bn-bid-for-manchester-united/
with everything going on at the WC right now regarding the LGBQT stuff....probably not the wisest choice of investors to sell the club to

Musk is really going crazy with his nicknames nowadays
The issue goes beyond sustainability for us. We need a new stadium or at the very least a considerable revamp of OT, as well as renewed facilities, and bringing up the club to modern standards. All that is going to cost us potentially billions. And thats not even going into the investment into the squad that we need to stay remotely competitive. Like it or not we're going to need a considerable investment in the immediate term, and the only suitors who are capable or willing to inject the required funds in the short term are the Middle Eastern ones.
It’s not bad in normal terms but this is potentially the beginning of the end of the Glazers - if it ends in fit and proper owners then United should be as big as Real Madrid and title challenging again
I’m sure the Ronaldo thread after his interview quotes started leaking was much higher at this point
I'm all for Chinese
It's quoting AB which used The Sun as its source.
fuking shit rag
Yeah that's how I see it. I'd love to know how much American consortiums plan to make from this. The Glazers got lucky...but making money out of football is like picking a winner at the Grand National.
Bush is a stretch but not Israel. absolutely reprehensive regime.
No doubt, and I'm not claiming the Glazers are saints. But even if all things were equal, supporting those things and being the ones responsible for those things are entirely different circumstances
At £4-5bn I can't see one person buying the club - much more likely to be a consortium (if not a country...). But here's a something to make some people here curse, Cristiano Ronaldo is probably rich enough to be part of any consortium... 
(joking)
(joking)My hope is the considerable investment required will put off the Yanks. They tend to be in it to squeeze as much money out of their investment (like our very own parasites), so expecting to drop billions off the bat might be off putting. Arabs on the other hand see clubs as (unfortunately) a sport-washing venture or merely a vanity project. They'll be less inclined to worry about overheads required and more obsessed with having the best in class.
The Emiratis want Dubai us
The Glazers are looking for $5-$9bn? But the Dubai Consortium are going to offer $10.6bn? Which is the top end of the scale. If that is an indication of their commercial acumen, then it's not a good sign
sorry, misread the conversation. yes, agreed.
Great bunch of lads.
It's an indication that no one has a bloody clue.The Glazers are looking for $5-$9bn? But the Dubai Consortium are going to offer $10.6bn? Which is the top end of the scale. If that is an indication of their commercial acumen, then it's not a good sign
Racist.
Calling it now, sale is close, this story has come out to push one particular party to pay up. A buyer does not want this news to be out in the open.
Correct
But not Ratcliffe?
I think it’ll be done before the end of the World Cup.
I hear you're a racist now father. How did you get interested in that type of thing?
I like Dubai, going there for holiday in 3 weeks.
100% agree.
The writing was on the wall, but still can’t believe it’s happening! I didn’t check caf or any football news yesterday, came on today to see Ronaldo is gone and the Glazers almost gone! Wild day yesterday.
I don't think he can afford the prices quoted. My money is on American conglomerate, Middle Eastern or Chinese ownership. If American, it will be a bunch of lads who already own an American sports team.
It's a matter of opportunity. If you can support something abhorant, you'd likely do it to - given the opportunity.
All 700million of them?
What's the appeal? Genuinely can't think of many places less appealing.
Who cares what he invented! Does that make it ok to be a prick?
I don't understand this fanboy attitude... these people live in a different world, and here we are defending them like they are saints and our best mate.
Because other billionaires are also not saints doesn't make it ok either.
