Man Utd LGBTQ+ fan group has 'deep concerns' as details of Qatari takeover bid emerge

Manchester United's LGBTQ+ fan group has released a statement raising "deep concerns" over the identity of several of the bidders for the club.

Current owner the Glazer family is looking to sell the Premier League giants after a turbulent 18 years in control of the club. The Americans have set a soft deadline of Friday for any bids, with The Raine Group hired to oversee the process.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is thought to be leading one of the interested parties. But interest has also emerged from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, with both countries infamous for their persecution of the LGBTQ+ community.
