Surely UEFA can block a Qatar bid given their ownership of PSG?

Rashford is the best player in the world right now.

Radcliffe also owns another club too.

If its 2 different people/companies who own both clubs even though in reality its the state backing them i don't think UEFA can do much.

Bord na Mona man

There is no appetite in Britain to halt this kind of buyout. They've happily sold everything including the kitchen sink to the highest bidder for years.
Qatar already owns some iconic real estate in London.

You think Newcastle fans didn't want the Saudis??
United are a different level. Alright oil money buying tinpot clubs like City, Chelsea, PSG, Newcastle etc but it'll be a sad day when a top club like United, Liverpool, Barca, Real or Bayern goes.

Be no chance of Munich getting the oil tycoons running them.

Manchester United fans are right to be concerned that their club could become part of a wider programme of Qatari sportswashing, Amnesty International has said.

The Brits speak out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to Qatar and the Gulf States.

One minutes there's talk of sports washing when it comes to owning a football club but nothing when it comes to the multi-billions worth of armament sales into the very same region.

If you're so concerned of human rights in these places then there's a more obvious place to start than worry about them buying a football club.

Brian Kerr and Gerry Armstrong make TV3 a hard watch  :(

Bruno fernandes is not the sharpest!  ::)

Massive win, Fred get's serious bad press but second half he was excellent. Martinez best signing in years.

Utd celebrating like they've won the Champions League lol, it's like Kerry in Killarney 2012 thinking they've beaten 2003 or 2005 Tyrone.

Milltown Row2

That's shite!! Players will be busted for Sunday, will have to get the bus washed
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
