Manchester United have today denied any truth in reports that talks with Qatar Holding were taking place and that a potential offer for the sale of the club of around £1.5Billion. had been put forward. (LINK)

Qatar Holdings, an indirect subsidiary of Qatar Investments, is run by Sheik Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr Al Thani the Prime Minister of Qatar, present holders of the Asian Cup Finals. It was he who also fronted Qataar's successful bid for the 2022 World Cup Finals.

Claims that the bid had been rejected by the club owners, as they were seeking £2Billion, were rejected by the American based Glazer Family, who bought the club in 2005 for £790million.

Manchester United, while denying the reports, again insisted that the club was not for sale. A spokesman said " There has been no approach of any kind to buy the club and one wouldn't be welcome anyway because it is not for sale."

Quote:Steve Bruce is lining up a raid for Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck after Sunderland's lucrative sale of Darren Bent.

The Reds forward is on loan at the Stadium of Light until the end of the season but Bruce is keen to make the deal permanent. Sunderland are flush with money after the Bent's move to Aston Villa which could see them make up to £24million.

Bruce faces opposition from Sir Alex Ferguson, who insists Welbeck has a future at Old Trafford, but an offer in excess of £10m could be enough to convince United to sell.

Quote:Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has been appointed director of soccer at United States club New York Cosmos.

"It's a wonderful project. It's kind of a mix between football and art," said the 44-year-old, who retired in 1997.

The Cosmos, who included Brazil star Pele in the 70s, folded in 1985 but were relaunched in August by former Tottenham vice-chairman Paul Kemsley.

Cantona's new club aim to play "at the highest level", suggesting an intention to become a Major League Soccer side.

The Cosmos, who won five championships in the now-defunct North American Soccer League between 1972 and 1982, have neither a team nor a stadium at the moment.
