Britain's richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe will launch a bid to takeover Manchester United after the Glazer family put the Premier League club up for sale.
Ratcliffe previously attempted to buy the club over the summer, but ultimately pulled out after it became clear the Glazers were not willing to sell. He is the owner of petrochemicals giant Ineos and is considered to be one of the richest men in the world.
The Glazers though have now U-turned on their stance and announced on Tuesday evening that they would consider offers for the Old Trafford side. That has led to Ratcliffe re-entering the playing field, having also tried to buy Chelsea last season.
