Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani's proposed bid to buy Manchester United has received a huge boost after it was revealed that UEFA are considering allowing clubs with the same owners to play in the Champions League.
Al-Thani is the chairman of one of Qatar's biggest banks and there are concerns about his links to Qatari-owned Paris Saint-Germain. However, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has claimed that a rethink of the existing rules was needed, with PSG and United both set to feature in Europe's top club competition next season.
