Manchester United supporters have launched a social media campaign in an attempt to encourage Sir Jim Ratcliffe to buy the club from the Glazer family.
Fans have been urged into action after ex-United director Michael Knighton announced that he's planning to buy the club. The 70-year-old businessman, who famously came close to buying the club in 1989, hopes to submit a formal bid as part of a consortium.
As part of his announcement, Knighton mentioned that Ratcliffe – who, as owner of chemical powerhouse Ineos, is Britain’s richest man – coming forward would "solve all our problems”. He said: "My consortium is ready and waiting. The funds are pledged. The offer document is being drawn out and it will be presented... Until Jim comes, my consortium will be placing their bid very shortly, that I can guarantee you."
