And an important difference is that the huge injection of money into United would come from an individual fund – not from a sovereign wealth.
The Red Devils’ would-be buyers plan on giving manager Erik ten Hag the resources to quickly return to the world elite.
A bid could be made in the next week, with United valued at £6billion-plus by current owners the Glazers.
Offers are tipped to come from the Far East, Middle East and the USA.
British billionaire and United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe has confirmed he’s interested too.
Merchant Bank Raines Group will oversee any sale negotiations.
The Mail say the issue of Qatar Sports Investment Group owning PSG will be looked at.
But it’s expected United’s possible new owners from the same country believe they can show they have no connection.

The club’s next chiefs face a huge bill on top of the £6bn buy-out sum.
That’s because Old Trafford needs redeveloping or totally rebuilding – possibly costing £2bn or more.
The Qataris are also expected to ask fans their views over any takeover.
