Speaking at an event in London on Tuesday evening, Sir Jim Ratcliffe reaffirmed his interest in buying Manchester United but also admitted it is unlikely the club will be in his possession anytime soon.
"Manchester United is owned by the Glazer family, whom I have met. They don't want to sell it,” he said. “It's owned by the six children of the father and they don't want to sell it.”
Ratcliffe went on to give a glowing review of the family, calling them “the nicest people”. It seems he is on good terms with United’s owners, which may be beneficial should the Glazers ever get to a point where they want to sell up.
