Manchester United: Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman denies takeover bid

Published on: 18 February 2019

Reports linking Prince Mohammed Bin Salman initially surfaced in October

Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's media minister has denied reports linking him with a £3.8bn takeover of Manchester United.

Rumours of his interest resurfaced over the weekend, although reports suggest the Glazers are not looking to sell.

The club's American owners bought the club for £790m in May 2005.

"Reports claiming that HRH the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman intends on buying Manchester United are completely false," said Turki al-Shabanah.

"Manchester United held a meeting with PIF [?Public Investment Fund] Saudi to discuss a sponsorship opportunity. No deal has materialised."
