Manchester United takeover BOMBSHELL: UAE Consortium to meet Glazer officials today Could this be the turning point Manchester United fans have waited over a decade for? https://thedailybriefing.io/p/manchester-united-takeover-bombshell Something big could be brewing behind the scenes at Manchester United. Sources say senior Manchester United figures are preparing for a decisive meeting today with a UAE-based consortium, a development that could finally bring the takeover saga to a head.

The news signals an acceleration in the pursuit of the Premier League giants. As per the insider, who has built a strong reputation for reliable information over the summer transfer window, claims that the UAE delegation is ‘very serious about purchasing the club’, suggesting a full Manchester United sale is firmly on the table. Crucially, the report claims the current owners, the Glazer family, are now open to all possibilities. Taking to X, he reported: “Our sources at Manchester United are reporting that United Arab Emirates-based consortium are meeting #mufc officials in London at 1pm. The UAE officials are very serious about purchasing the club. The Glazers are open to all possibilities.” This marks a major shift from previous stances which often favoured minority investment. This flexibility from the Glazers, coupled with a highly motivated and deep-pocketed UAE consortium, opens the door to a full buyout that could satisfy the owners’ hefty valuation, previously rumoured to be in excess of £5 billion. Manchester United’s revival? How a Middle East takeover could mirror Man City and Newcastle’s rise The prospect of a Middle East-backed takeover at Manchester United could mark the beginning of a new era, one that mirrors the transformations seen at Manchester City and Newcastle United in recent years. Since Abu Dhabi’s City Football Group’s takeover of Manchester City in 2008, the landscape of English football changed. Significant investment in world-class players, top-notch facilities and backroom expertise turned City into a dominant force, a side that has since won six Premier League titles in the last eight seasons. Similarly, Saudi PIF backed consortium’s takeover of Newcastle in 2021 has seen the Magpies grown strength to strength each season, driven by calculated spending, modernised operations, and a clear footballing project built around Eddie Howe. For Manchester United, a UAE consortium takeover could finally bring the financial muscle and strategic direction needed to restore the club to its former glory.

🚨 EXCL: Liverpool's top seven centre-back transfer target list LEAKED to me just moments ago These are the names to watch... https://thedailybriefing.io/p/liverpool-cb-transfer-targets I’ve just received information which I trust to be rock solid on Liverpool’s seven main centre-back targets. As previously reported here, my understanding is that Liverpool remain confident of signing Marc Guehi, but are casting the net wide in case genuine interest in the Crystal Palace man from other top clubs like Real Madrid becomes an issue. Readers will recall I’ve already reported on Liverpool’s interest in… Castello Lukeba - the RB Leipzig central defender who is likely to cost around €60m (lower than his official release clause, which is €90m), and who is also wanted by Chelsea, Real Madrid and other big clubs. Ronald Araujo - Barcelona’s Uruguayan CB whose future is increasingly in doubt as he’s had a slightly reduced role under current Barca boss Hansi Flick. Jarrad Branthwaite - An unlikely one due to the rivalry with Everton, but the admiration from Liverpool is genuine and strong. I can now add another three names to that list, with my sources with ties to the agents industry messaging me to clarify some recent speculation. You might remember that I recently said I’d look into the links with Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano as I was not yet convinced there was much going on there. Turns out it’s legit. “Upamecano is on Liverpool’s list. As a free agent next summer, he’d definitely appeal to them, their recruitment team have looked at him before,” my source said. The other is Nottingham Forest’s Murillo. According to my source: “Murillo is also well liked at Liverpool. He’s someone Forest are probably going to have to sell soon, and we know there’s been interest from Chelsea, but Liverpool will be there too.” Finally, there was a recent report about Sven Botman being someone Liverpool looked at (but didn’t move for) in the summer, and my understanding is that he’s still on their list. “Doing business with Newcastle again won’t be straightforward though,” my source clarified. (Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images) Liverpool need a top centre-back, or perhaps even two… We know that LFC have a major concern at the moment with Ibrahima Konate coming towards the end of his contract, and Real Madrid hovering for his signature. I have not heard anything recently that suggests Konate is closer to agreeing a new deal with Liverpool. It’s very quiet, so you perhaps can’t rule out that something is going on behind the scenes to break the deadlock, or if it just means nothing is happening at all and there’s an acceptance that he’s going to move on. As soon as I can confirm that either way, I’ll post it here. On top of the Konate saga, Liverpool need a long-term successor to the ageing Virgil van Dijk, while the injury to Giovanni Leoni is a huge blow, keeping the talented young Italian out for around a year. If I were to guess, I’d say there’s a decent chance Liverpool’s list of CB targets is growing because they might try making more than one signing in that position, though of course that’s unconfirmed for the moment, and would likely change if Konate ended up staying. Guehi and Upamecano are two free agents, so could significantly strengthen Arne Slot’s defence without costing a fortune, while signing one of those and then spending a decent sum on a Lukeba or Murillo could also be feasible for the club.

That is true and I feel the same. Trump just push this so he can look good. And the fact is that the world don't care if he looks good. But that being said the most important thing for the people of Israel was to get the hostage back. Something that I asked in the past how in the world they and Hamas alive if Gaza was starving? Could it be that Hamas always took the food from its people?

Chelsea Legends vs Liverpool Legends | FULL MATCH | Legends Charity Match 2025/26 Chelsea Football Club

Taking care of his son, Diarra... ... iykyk 👀

Where is our legend Geremi?

Not good enough. Di Matteo out!

He looked pretty much how he used to when played here! Not so slow how did at Real. Atmosphere was pretty decent as well! More lively then some games ive been to. Maybe less tourists and £££££ tickets

We came so close Hazard could have had a hatrick !

The last minute goal..booo haha. Oh well we did it last week when it mattered. They really put in the effort though!! Fun little game! And Costa 🤣 shame he didnt get his goal

Could still do a job for us.

Skrtel still a little rat 😄

For anyone who missed it

He ran his little heart out today!

He's just got booked in the Chelsea legends friendly match 🤣

If he's like Hazard and gives us amazing memories for around 5 seasons, wins the PL and other trophies and then wants to try something new, that would be fine. Every player has a dream and from what I've seen South American players typically enjoy playing in La Liga at some point in their careers. Feels like it is inevitable that Estevao and Enzo will ask for moves to Spanish clubs at some point

100% to deter we need player exchange contracts - (that pisses off anyone sniffing) and increase the release clause. Though hard to see the current custodians of our club knowing the difference between price and value
