Man Utd takeover: Sheikh Jassim's bid receives blow after damning Qatar comparison

LaLiga's president insists he will "have to repeat" his criticism of Paris Saint-Germain if Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani completes a takeover of Manchester United.

Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim is trying to purchase 100 per cent of the club from the Glazers, who put the Red Devils up for sale last November. Sheikh Jassim has insisted the bid is via his 'Nine Two Foundation' - completely separate from the Qatari state - but is yet to convince everyone that is the case.

LaLiga chief Javier Tebas has previously labelled PSG - who are owned by Qatar Sports Investment, a subsidiary of the country's sovereign-wealth fund - as the "enemy". He has called for football's governing bodies to "pay attention" to Sheikh Jassim's bid.
