Tottenham takeover news: F1 hint, Man United comments and Sheikh Jassim uncertainty

Tottenham Hotspur fans will be watching the takeover situation at Manchester United with interest.

The Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani wants to buy United through his Nine Two Foundation company while billionaire INEOS owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also keen on purchasing the club. The protracted nature of the takeover has dragged on for so long that Red Devils supporters are fearful that they may not see their club taken out of the hands of the Glazers, its owners since 2005 and deeply unpopular custodians of the Old Trafford side.

Elsewhere, supporters will be on alert following comments made by CEO of Formula One owners Liberty Media, Gregg Maffei. The billionaire has hinted that his next big investment could come in the Premier League.
