LGBTQ+ activist concerned by potential Qatari takeover of Man Utd
Sheikh Jassim will look to buy another Premier League side if he fails to acquire Manchester United, it has been claimed. The Qatari billionaire has made five offers for the club so far. But with the Glazers still undecided over what to do over at Old Trafford, the situation continues to rumble on.

He said: “If that is rejected then Qatar’s interest in the Premier League, I assume, will move somewhere else.
“That could be a Tottenham. It's been spoken about before they've got the location, got the stadium, got the training ground.
