Another Qatari group interested in Manchester United after Liverpool takeover fails

The Qatar Investment Authority, which was planning to take over English Premier League club Liverpool, has moved on after the takeover failed. The Liverpool owners offered a 49 per cent stake to the Qatari group, who rejected it as they wanted complete ownership of the club. QIA had been in talks with the Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group but did not come to an agreement.

Liverpool owners FSG were looking for investments into the club to compete with other financially strong clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle. However, FSG insisted that they would not be willing to give complete ownership of the Reds. QIA reportedly did not want to invest £2 billion in the club without getting complete ownership.

QIA moved on to the Red Devils, who already have several investment groups interested in them. Another consortium of Qatari Investors are reportedly prepared to launch a £4 billion bid for Manchester United. With the soft deadline within 24 hours, the Investment Groups will launch their formal bid for arguably the most famous club in football.
