Sir Jim Ratcliffe may have confirmed his interest in buying Manchester United, but any potential takeover could present the British billionaire with a problem.
Ratcliffe’s interest was confirmed by a spokesperson on Wednesday following reports that the Glazers were open to selling a minority stake in the club. The 69-year-old has previously downplayed talk of a takeover at Old Trafford, but now looks to have changed his view.
“If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer,” a spokesperson told The Times. “If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership.
