As Man United plunge to new lows this season, their owners, the Glazer family, have turned their attention to buying Saudi club Al-Ittihad.
Manchester United owners, the Glazers, are reportedly part of a consortium attempting to purchase Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad. According to Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah via Inside World Football, the American family has partnered with Saudi businessman Wael Jamjoom to table an offer for the club. They face competition from a consortium involving Prince Saad bin Abdullah and Joshua Harris, as well as another group led by Abdulrahman and Sultan bin Mahfouz.

While supporters voice frustration against executive figures Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe reportedly has no plans to dismiss them.
