Manchester United were never going to issue a response to the Ineos spokesman who declared Sir Jim Ratcliffe's interest in buying the club on Wednesday night.
A club source brusquely referred to it as "speculation" when it is actually concrete. "If the club are for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer," the spokesman told The Times.
The news caused a tremor on Twitter. One United fan said he was "crying" at the news. Supporters need to be mindful of the Glazer family's ego and whether they are truly inclined to sell.
