The record English champions are having a torrid run on the pitch and languish in 14th place in the Premier League table.

Now it has been reported that Saudi Crown Prince is having another crack with a third bid to take the ownership of the club.

Bin Salman, who is worth a staggering ?850 billion, has tested United owners Glazers into selling - one of which was said to be a huge ?3 billion. It is still not sure if and when the bid will be made, but there have been informal talks.

The Glazers, Manchester United's owners since 2005 after a ?790 million purchase, knocked back both approaches as they did not want to sell and though their stance is still the same, but it hasn't fazed the Prince as he intends to tempt the current ownership with a mammoth ?3 billion.

The Glazers have always been at loggerheads with the club's fanbase and United supporters would love nothing more than seeing the Saudi Prince taking over the reigns.

If it was to happen, it did be one of the biggest takeovers in sports history.
