Manchester United fans have been reacting to the news that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has launched a bid for the club.

The Qatar banker is spying a whole-scale takeover having been a lifelong Reds fan. He is the second potential buyer to publicly confirm his interest following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company Ineos declaring his last month.

MEN Sport understands that bids at this stage are only indicative and that the next stage will see bidders gain access to financial information before being required to table their final proposals.

The anticipated bid from Qatar comes amid concerns over domestic human rights issues in the country. A number of activist groups have urged Uefa to block a potential United takeover from a firm or businessperson from the nation because of this. TODAY'S BIG TALKING POINT: What is your stance on the new bid from Qatari Al Thani?
