The investments made by Middle-Eastern organisations are really rather odd. They appear to tend to invest heavily seemingly pointless trinkets steeped in history in order to impress each other. People with very little history but an apparently abundant future buying a club with plenty history and no future as far as we can see? Liverpool Football Club fits the bill perfectly.
The other important thing to remember is that these investors don't really ever expect to see a return on their money until they sell. They don't need to sell though. They're amongst the wealthiest people on earth, but they're more fun than Bill Gates.
I wouldn't buy either for obvious reasons, but if I had to make a choice then I'd buy ManUre - plenty of history but a future to potentially equal it.
