Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham believes no one 'feels completely comfortable' about the potential Qatari takeover of Manchester United.

Manchester United have been up for sale since November last year, with Qatari royal Sheikh Jassim's Nine Two Foundation and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS the two main contenders.

United fans hoped a sale would be completed by the end of last season, though they have been left frustrated with a resolution to the saga still appearing to be some way off.

The American family have been holding out for a higher asking price with both interested parties awaiting a response as to whether they will be the preferred bidder.
