The chemical firm Ineos has officially entered the bidding to buy Manchester United. Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company has been linked with a takeover of the Premier League giants after the Glazer family, the current owners, announced last year they were willing to listen to offers.
A spokesperson for Ineos told the PA news agency: “We have formally put ourselves into the process.”
When contacted by PA for a response to the brief Ineos statement, United made no comment. Ratcliffe, a boyhood United fan, attempted to purchase Chelsea last year but his late offer was rejected as Todd Boehly was successful in taking over from Roman Abramovich, reports PA.
