Sir Jim Ratcliffe missed the chance to meet Manchester United owner Avram Glazer at Wembley amid his ongoing takeover attempt for the club.
The INEOS owner is one of at least two parties who have confirmed their interest in buying the Old Trafford outfit after the Glazers signalled their intentions to sell last November. He faces competition from Qatari Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani although it remains to be seen how far each of their respective takeover bids have progressed.
Ratcliffe appeared to have a golden chance to hold face to face talks with Avram Glazer at Wembley as United took on Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final. The American was in attendance during the match.
