MANCHESTER UNITED legends such as Paul Scholes and Gary Neville will reportedly be offered jobs at the club if Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani takes over.
The Qatari remains in the running to complete a sensational takeover for the Red Devils after the Glazers put the club up for sale.

The report suggests Sheikh Jassim is determined to address the lack of renowned players within the club's hierarchy.
ESPN also claim that a number of players from both the 1999 Treble winning team and 2008 Champions League winners have ALREADY been approached by representatives of Sheikh Jassim.
As it stands, technical director Darren Fletcher is the only former star employed in a senior role at the club.
