Sir Jim Ratcliffe to launch takeover 'bid' after confirming Liverpool decision

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will reportedly bid to buy Manchester United after the Glazer formally put the club up for sale.

That’s according to the Independent, who are reporting that Ratcliffe, a Manchester United fan, is ready to launch a bid to buy the Old Trafford club - although he is keen not to pay over the odds. The Glazer family will reportedly seek buyers prepared to pay between £6billion and £8billion.

On the day that the club cancelled Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract, the Glazers released a statement saying that they were trying to find new investment, either to acquire a share of the club, or buy it outright, which would end their 17-year ownership.
