Man Utd: billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe prepares new takeover offer

Everything is accelerating at Manchester United. While the Glazers have managed the club since 2005 and supporters have been protesting against it in recent weeks, it appears that the sale process has been turned upside down. Indeed, on Saturday, Qatar led by Sheikh Jassim withdrew from the negotiations after its five offers were rejected. Enough to leave an avenue for another well-known investor in France: Jim Ratcliffe.

President of INEOS and OGC Nice, the British billionaire is reportedly on the verge of reaching an agreement with the Glazers to buy 25% of the Mancunian club according to Sky Sports. A fan of Manchester United since his childhood, Jim Ratcliffe’s offer could indeed be accepted soon. A completely different offer to that of Cheikh Jassim, who wanted to buy the club in its entirety.
