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.
