Any new owner of Manchester United must commit to continuing the Premier League club's progress on the field and respect the rights of LGBTQ+ fans, the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) said on Sunday.

INEOS bought French Ligue 1 club Nice in 2019, while French champions Paris St Germain are owned by Qatar Sports Investments .

European soccer governing body UEFA's rules forbid two clubs with the same owner both taking part in the lucrative European Champions League. "There are questions about sporting integrity given the exceptionally close links between some bidders and the owners of other European clubs including Paris St Germain and Nice," MUST said.

On Thursday, the Daily Telegraph reported that Saudi Arabia has also submitted a bid. Homosexuality is illegal in both Saudi Arabia and Qatar. 'Rainbow Devils', a Manchester United LGBTQ+ supporters group, this week expressed "deep concern over some of the bids that are being made"."We also note the importance that any owner respects the rights of all people, particularly women and the LGBTQ+ community," MUST said.
