MANCHESTER UNITED could be set for a huge transfer spree next summer if Qataris complete a takeover of the club.
The Glazers have placed the Red Devils up for sale and a Qatari group is reportedly about to make a bid.

The investment group are said to be confident that their bid will blow any competition out of the water, and want to significantly boost manager Erik ten Hag’s transfer kitty.
As well as coughing up more than £6billion for the club, the Qatari group could face a project of redeveloping, or knocking down Old Trafford and building a new state-of-the-art facility.
And investment in the playing squad could see some big name arrivals next summer, such as England pair Harry Kane and Declan Rice.
Both have been frequently linked with a move to United, though West Ham boss David Moyes has warned it will take a British record fee to land Rice.
Tottenham also do not want to sell their record goalscorer Kane to a Premier League rival in the summer, though United could make them an offer they cannot refuse if they are flush with cash.
The Red Devils have targeted Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen as an alternative to Kane, though it is believed the Serie A side are demanding £133million to let him leave.
Another major target is Jude Bellingham, who is also attracting interest from Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
Ten Hag missed out on several targets in his first transfer window and it is possible United could move back in for those players once they have some extra financial firepower.

Two players the Dutchman has worked with before, Jurrien Timber and Frenkie de Jong, were both on United’s shortlist but rejected moves to Old Trafford.
Ten Hag is still said to be keen on the pair, though he could have more urgent priorities, including signing Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries.
A new goalkeeper could also be on the agenda with Jan Oblak and Diogo Costa both linked over the last few months.
Other players of interest include Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati, who would provide competition for places on the wing.
Former Celtic right-back Jeremie Frimpong could also arrive as an upgrade for Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
