Gary Neville has largely welcomed Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s interest in buying Manchester United but threw caution to wind as to what a takeover would mean in reality.
The Ineos billionaire made his intentions official this week, almost two months after the Glazers put the club up for sale. Ratcliffe indicated his interest in August before seeming to back away.
The British businessman, who has investments in Formula One, cycling and French football club OGC Nice, is a boyhood United fan and hails from Failsworth. Neville said that this was a major positive although the main goal is to see the current owners depart.
