Leading lights at INEOS have concerns about Sir Jim Ratcliffe's bid to buy Manchester United, according to reports.
Britain's wealthiest man is seemingly in a two-horse race to buy the Premier League giant should the Glazers opt to sell up after what has been a drawn out process that has copped major criticism. Ratcliffe has tabled a hefty bid which could eventually go down as the world record purchase of a sports team.
However those close to him at his company believe he may have taken his eye off the ball with one of his other major investments - Ligue 1 side Nice - who have struggled this term and sit in mid-table with the season almost over.
