A secretive Middle East consortium has bid £1.5bn for Manchester United only to be firmly rejected by the club's owners, the Glazer family, it emerged last night.

According to information passed to the Guardian this was one of several covert offers which have been made for the club, all valuing United at more than £1bn and all of them rebuffed.


Honto!?
One wonders why such sums turned down...

Cast your minds back to last year and this Knucklehead.

 

Quote:
OPTIMISTIC Blue Kirk Bradley is so sure of Manchester City's success next season that he's had a tattoo announcing them as Champions League Winners for 2011.

 

The Premier League season is barely underway but already the 25-year-old is so confident that not only will his team qualify for the Champions League this time round but that they will win it at their first attempt next year.

 

So football-mad Kirk decided to have 'Manchester City 2011 Champions League Winners' permanently tattooed on to his body - even though they only finished 10th last year. And although he admits his prediction is somewhat premature Kirk thinks it's an entirely realistic expectation for big-spending City - who have splashed out £100m on new players this summer.

Dimitar Berbatov is staying at Manchester United, declares Sir Alex Ferguson

 

 

Sir Alex Ferguson will not dump his £30million striker Dimitar Berbatov despite another disappointing season.

 

The 29-year-old, the all-time leading scorer for Bulgaria, has divided opinion among United fans.

 

His critics question his attitude and insist he has not justified the United manager’s outlay that brought him from Tottenham two years ago.

 

He managed only 12 goals this season in 32 games and has scored only 21 times in total in the Premier League during his United career.

 

But his fans, including Ferguson, insist there are few better touch players around the area.

 

‘He is a very talented player and has a future at Manchester United,’ said Ferguson.
