The Emir of Qatar wants to own Manchester United and PSG.
According to The Guardian, the strategy of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, who will try to buy Manchester United and keep PSG, is to show UEFA that each club will be controlled by a separate organization.
UEFA rules do not allow clubs that may meet in the same tournament - such as the Champions League - to have the same owner. In Qatar they understand this and are looking for growth.
At the moment, the only option is to show UEFA that Manchester United will not be run by the same structure and personnel as PSG.
There is some confidence that this will work, especially since there is a precedent with Salzburg and RB Leipzig, where the ultimate owner is Red Bull GmbH. In September 2018, the Austrian and German clubs faced each other in the Europa League.
