Manchester United bidder Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani's father is not enthused about the possible investment in the club.
The younger Sheikh Jassim has submitted an offer, with the backing of the Qatar royal family, to purchase the club from the Glazer family.
However, his father Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, the former prime minister of Qatar, said he was not a huge fan of sports himself.
"I am not a football fan," Sheikh Hamad said on Bloomberg's The David Rubenstein Show, recorded on February 14.
"I don't like this investment. Maybe it will work well. But you know, some of my sons like this, they always discuss it with me. They're pushing hard. This is not my speciality.
"Let me put it like this: I am an investor. If it will one day be a good investment, I will think about it. If not, I will not look at it as something you do just as an advertisement."
