Britain's richest man eyes Man Utd takeover after 'dismissing' Liverpool offer

Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly ‘dismissed’ the idea of buying Liverpool but is very interested on leading a takeover bid of Manchester United.

It emerged earlier this month that Liverpool’s American owners are keen to sell and have put together a full presentation for interested parties. They have retained Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to assist with the process of selling as they gauge interest and invite offers.

FSG partner Sam Kennedy told The Boston Globe there has been a "lot of interest" in investing in the Reds. However, the Glazer family have subsequently put United up for sale as they look to end their controversial 17-year ownership of the club. Mirror Football understands the family is looking for as much as £8billion to sell arguably the biggest team in world football.
