Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already offered his blueprint for Manchester United success

A host of Manchester United fans are viewing Sir Jim Ratcliffe as the man to dig them out of the mire the Glazers have entrenched the club in.

A report on Wednesday said the British billionaire is serious in submitting a takeover bid for the Reds, whom he supports. The 70-year-old first announced an interest in United in August but cooled interest in October by insisting that the Glazers “don’t want to sell”.

Then in recent weeks, an Ineos spokesperson said the company were “focusing” on French club OGC Nice, who they purchased in 2019. But the mooted u-turn will re-ignite excitement among the United fanbase, only this time with more vigour after the Glazers confirmed they are exploring potentially selling up.
