And that potential stability could be enough to keep hold of championship-winning coach John Aloisi.
United's finances have been under a microscope in recent months, and the club this week received a three-window ban from FIFA on registering new players.
There have also long been queries over whether the club can deliver on the promise of a full-size stadium in Tarneit that was the centrepiece of its successful bid to enter the league.
After several apparent false starts, KAM Melbourne, a subsidiary of real estate moguls KAM Sports, have stepped in, taking a majority stake in the club and parent company Western Melbourne Group.
KAM Sports is run by the Kaminski family, under chairman Maciek Kaminski and CEO Mikhail Kaminski. The group gained fame for its failed attempts to purchase English club Everton in 2022-23.
"It's a boost for everyone involved," Aloisi said.
"Not only the playing group or the club, but the fans, the members."
Socceroos great Aloisi is off-contract at season's end and has never been shy about his ambition to coach overseas.
He is also an outside shot at the Matildas job though that role is widely expected to go to Joe Montemurro, the Australian coach of the Lyon women's side.
When asked if the investment could sway him to stay at Western, Aloisi said: "Look, if everything aligns, then it will definitely.
"Because I think that we've done a lot of great work here at the club in terms of where we've come from.
"And also, what we've put in place in terms of our base with our young players coming through, our academy, all the effort that we've had and you can start to really see the results now on the pitch.
"We knew that it would take time, but I want to still be part of that growth.
"If I'm going to remain in Australia, I'd love to be part of that and see the club keep growing in the direction that they want to head in."
Aloisi noted a sale would help convince players to either re-sign or join United.
He was "pretty positive" the transfer ban could be quickly resolved, while conceding he wasn't fully across the situation.
The transaction is subject to successful completion of the necessary approval processes by Wyndham City Council, in which Tarneit sits, the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) and regulatory processes by Football Australia (FA).
United's future centres around housing the professional sports club in the midst of large-scale property development in Tarneit.
"We aim to bring financial stability and sustainability to the club, and ensuring that it can become one of Australia's leading professional sporting organisations and a strong corporate partner for the league," Maciek Kaminski said, in a statement released by the club.
APL chairman Stephen Conroy welcomed the imminent sale.
"With KAM Melbourne's demonstrated commitment to growing the game and commitment to building the stadium, this partnership brings fresh energy and enormous potential for success on and off the field," Conroy said.
