Gary Neville makes "unfair" £1bn Man Utd admission amid potential Qatari deal

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has admitted that he "wouldn’t feel right" if Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani poured huge funds into the Red Devils to get them back on top of the Premier League.

The chairman of one of Qatar's largest banks, he submitted a bid to complete a takeover of the Old Trafford outfit last month. Sheikh Jassim is competing with Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe to seal a deal.

It remains to be seen who will be the new owners of the club but Neville already has his reservations on a potential Qatari-backed takeover. He has continued to call for more regulation on spending, whilst suggesting that he would not be comfortable with Sheikh Jassim spending fortunes in an effort to get the Red Devils challenging for league titles.
