Yeah I'm also curious about Manchester United's potential for next season from now on. As of Sheikh Jassim's taking over by paying billions of dollars, the transfer window should be much more active for Manchester United side. If they make big transfers to aim more titles next time then I will see Manchester United as one of the serious title contenders in the Champions League.

They are in search of a striker for example. Harry Kane's name has been called with them a lot. But according to The Guardian, they have lost their interest due to not being keen on paying an amount over 100 million euros.

Let's see if they can bring back Alex Ferguson's times who won the CL trophy twice with them.  Smiley
Although Sheikh Jassim has taken over from the Glazers but we still don't know how big their budget will be for the current transfer window perhaps it is still being considered and Erik Ten Hag is still looking for some talent to fill in for the start of the new season.

Harry Kane's price is too expensive but this is still associated with several other clubs, maybe at this time he is still trying to negotiate with several other players, I would be interested if Man United brought in a lot of players in this active transfer window.

I'm sure Erik Ten Hag has the potential for that but of course it takes a process to get back to his former glory.

Of course I talked about it confidently by assuming the new owner would allocate an enormous transfer budget for the club as it is oil money we are talking about. I made this assumption by looking at the Newcastle example though. Because 80% of the club is owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment now. And moreover Newcastle's budget was said to be around 1 billion euros once.  Grin

Maybe Manchester United's budget might not be that big but still I assume it would be at least a few hundreds of million dollars. This should be more than enough for Erik ten Hag to build the kind of a team he would like freely. If he can do this then this team should be ready to play bigger in all the tournaments they are in.
Manchester United is still owned by the Glazers pending when the agreement to sell the to the new bidder is confirmed.
So it simply means that Manchester United will remain to continue with whatever transfer strategy and budget that's been put in place by the Glazers until the club is finally sold to another individual or group. United current sqaud for a truth needs to strengthened by signing more world class players which I think will be done in this summer transfer window regardless of who owns the club
