Amnesty International has warned that reports of an imminent Qatari bid for Manchester United should be a "wake-up call" to the Premier League to strengthen its ownership rules.
According to the Daily Mail, private investors from the Gulf state which hosted last year’s World Cup are keen to buy United, with an apparent £6bn price-tag not putting them off.
However, the human rights group said any purchase would be a continuation of Qatar’s attempts to sportswash its image, citing limited reforms on improving conditions for migrant workers and no signs at all that it will decriminalise same-sex relationships.
