Man Utd takeover: Glazers final decision date set as Jim Ratcliffe clause comes to light

The Glazers will take a definitive decision on the takeover of Manchester United this month after it emerged Sir Jim Ratcliffe's bid includes a clause to see the family leave the club entirely.

INEOS chief Ratcliffe is one of the two frontrunners to buy Manchester United along with Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani. The pair recently submitted their third and final bids, with Sheikh Jassim proposing a complete buyout and Ratcliffe making an offer to take a controlling interest in the club and allow Joel and Avram Glazer to retain a 20% stake in United.

However, the latest developments on Ratcliffe’s bid confirms that his approach will see the unpopular American family leave the club in its entirety after three years, should he be successful in his takeover attempt. As detailed by Sky, a final decision is expected to be made over the club's future this month.
