Man Utd sale: Emir of Qatar wants to own BOTH Red Devils and PSG as takeover plans emerge

Paris Saint-Germain Qatar Glazer Manchester United Jim Ratcliffe EPL

The emir of Qatar is interested in buying Manchester United without relinquishing his stake in Paris Saint-Germain, it has been claimed.

UEFA rules prevent clubs with the same owners participating in the same competition. This had prompted questions over whether the emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, would be able to be part of a bid for an English club potentially active in next season's Champions League while owning PSG through Qatar Sports Investment.

United have been up for sale since November, with the Glazer family reportedly setting a soft deadline of mid-February for bids as they look for upwards of £6bn. A Qatari group has met with the current owners ahead of a potential investment, though there are also potential bidders from elsewhere including Britain's richest man Jim Ratcliffe.
