Man Utd potential big money buyers’ net worth ranked vs Newcastle, Chelsea, Man City and rivals - gallery
The Manchester United takeover is on the horizon and this is how potential buyers Sir Jim Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani rank against other Premier League owners.
Winds of change are blowing through Manchester United this season as fans enjoy a newfound optimism for the direction in which the club is heading.
Erik ten Hag has revitalised the side and got main man Marcus Rashford firing on all cylinders. Supporters will feel that the Carabao Cup triumph last weekend was just the first taste of silverware under the new boss.
Further cause for optimism is news that the club is on the verge of being sold from The Glazers to either Sir Jim Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani.
The two prospective new owners have very different backgrounds but one thing they do have in common is money. Bucketloads of it, in fact.
This is where those two buyers compare with other Premier League club owners from the lowest net worth to the highest.
