Manchester United takeover: How Qatari takeover can change the Red Devils' fortunes

Sheikh Jassim is reportedly set to take over at Old Trafford
Shiekh Jassim is still the front-runner for the ownership of Manchester United, and there is an increasing consensus that he will succeed.
Once he does, an entirely new phase will begin, and United supporters will be happy that the Glazers is finally gone.
The Qataris intend to make a proposal for Manchester United before the deadline for offers later this month. They consider the club to be the "Crown Jewels of Football" and value it at £8 billion. They have five main goals in mind for the team, its coach Erik ten Hag, and its supporters.
We look at the top five actions the Qatari owners will take to strengthen Manchester United's finances and make the team a stronger contender.
4. Focusing on more youth products
Man United have a well-known academy in Manchester that have produced athletes who have contributed significantly to the team over the years. The Qataris want to strengthen connections between senior and young levels and the youth academy. More young players will develop in the club as a result of this, as only a small number of kids have previously had the opportunity to play for United.
3. Bring strong connection between fans and owners
The Qatari proposal places a strong emphasis on fan participation, as fans feel they haven't had a voice in club issues since 2005. To that end, the Qatari bid promises to have more transparent and open owners, which will be appreciated by fans. The Qataris are ready for the adjustments, which will be outlined in a white paper from the British government that will be released soon.
United supporters have long loathed Galzers, and if Sheikh Jassim is successful in taking over, he will work to improve relations between supporters and owners.
2. Stadium renovation
Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, needs urgent restoration or construction. An unidentified Qatari group reportedly has enough money for the project and desires to involve supporters in maintaining a beneficial connection with the team and building and re-construct the stadium and increasing the seats. Old Trafford is among the best stadium in Europe.
1. Help Erik ten Hag in transfer window
Despite the hiring of Erik ten Hag as manager, Manchester United still requires development. Although he has received $230 million to support nine new signings, there is still work to be done. To aid in Ten Hag's ascent back to the top, the Qataris intend to provide them with a "war chest."
Despite having demonstrated their potential with the proper management, United still needs to beef up some areas for the upcoming season. With the addition of quality players to the roster, United will undoubtedly contend on every level. They participated in two finals and won one of them.
