Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is confident he will not be barred from completing a takeover of Manchester United by UEFA.
Sheikh Jassim has submitted a bid to buy United from the Glazers, who put the club up for sale last November. INEOS founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe also submitted an offer before last Friday's 'soft' deadline, while other parties are also believed to be interested.
There are concerns Sheikh Jassim's bid will be blocked due to his close links with Qatar's ruling elite. The Arab country's subsidiary Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) already own a controlling share of Paris Saint-Germain, which could be deemed as a conflict of interest.
