Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to appoint Graham Potter as he moves ever closer to becoming the new owner of Manchester United, according to reports.
The Mirror states that Ratcliffe and INEOS are confident of completing a takeover from the Glazer family at Old Trafford, but does face competition from Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. Final bids for the Premier League club were submitted last month.
It is believed that the Raine Group, who are administering the sale on the Glazers' behalf, may announce a preferred bidder by next week.
