MU legend – Rio Ferdinand has revealed that the announcement of Sheikh Jassim as the new owner of MU is imminent. Accordingly, the Royal Qatar will buy back the Old Trafford team for 5.5 billion pounds. They will provide a lot of money to help coach Erik ten Hag upgrade the squad.
MU has been linked with a host of top players this summer, including Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, both of whom are likely to leave PSG. The French team wants £ 150 million for Mbappe and at least £ 60 million for Neymar. It is not a big problem for MU if they change owners successfully.

Besides the blockbuster pair, Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa is also targeted to replace David de Gea, who has yet to agree to a contract extension. Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae is another name that could move to Old Trafford. MU is also negotiating to recruit midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea and right-back Denzel Dumfries of Inter Milan.
If there are more Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Mason Mount, Kim Min-jae, Denzel Dumfries and Diogo Costa, the MU squad will be significantly upgraded. At that time, coach Erik ten Hag could use a 4-3-3 formation with Rashford, Mbappe and Neymar in attack.
In the midfield, Mount plays alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes. In defense, Kim Min-jae can pair with Lisandro Martinez or Raphael Varane, the flanks are Luke Shaw and Denzel Dumfries, in the wooden frame Costa is trusted.
