Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already hit a potential hurdle in any takeover of Manchester United with the Glazer family disagreeing with his plan for the Old Trafford club.
Representatives of Britain's richest man have confirmed that the INEOS CEO would be interested in purchasing the Red Devils at some point in the future should the club's current owners decide to cash in. As confirmed by The Times, it was suggested that the 69-year-old could look to buy a minority stake in the club before buying out the much-maligned Glazers some time down the line.
A statement read: "If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer. If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership.
