""The best news I heard today is that Manchester United is now in an advanced stage of completing a deal to sell to a new investor. I hope he's better than the previous owners." Multiple sources close to United say the claim is untrue. Until Alalshikh clarifies his comments, they will just leave a lot of unanswered questions. It has been anticipated there would be talks between United and the Saudi authorities in the coming weeks over the potential of playing at least one mid-season friendly to try and raise some funds in the absence of European competition."
""On Sunday, Alalshikh unveiled the latest Riyadh Season schedule which did not include any football but it is thought a game could be added and said the brand value of the spectacular list of sporting events has now reached $3.2bn (2.39m). While there are no deals presently active, there is history between the Glazer family and Saudi Arabia. In 2017, United agreed a Memorandum of Understanding with the country's General Sports Authority (GSA). When the contract was announced, , externalUnited said the aim was 'to help the GSA develop its football industry, as part of its 2030 Vision, to diversify its economy, and the club would be 'lending its business and sporting expertise to clubs, sporting authorities and individuals in Saudi Arabia'.""
Multiple Manchester United sources have rejected claims that the club is in advanced negotiations to sell to a new investor. Turki Alalshikh posted that Manchester United was in an advanced stage of completing a sale and expressed hope the new owner would be better than previous owners. Talks are anticipated between United and Saudi authorities about staging at least one mid-season friendly to raise funds after missing European competition, with possible opponents including a Saudi Pro-League club or a European side such as AC Milan. Ruben Amorim indicated a match is needed to compensate for missing Europe. Riyadh Season was unveiled without football and was valued at $3.2bn. United signed a 2017 Memorandum of Understanding with the Saudi General Sports Authority to help develop Saudi football and lend expertise.
