Manchester United supporters have contrasting theories on takeover comments made by Sir Jim Ratcliffe after he finally broke silence on his desire to buy the club. Sir Jim was pressed on interest during an event in London hosted by The Financial Times in association with his company Ineos on Tuesday night.
Streamed online, the event saw Sir Jim discuss several business and entrepreneurial topics. However, talk switched to his beloved Reds eventually and that is what prompted a storm on social media and beyond.
When pressed on takeover proposals, the 69-year-old confirmed that he would have been interested in purchasing the club this summer had it become available. However, as per his comments, the Glazers are not willing to sell and, as such, his intent to buy was stopped before it had begun.
