Sir Jim Ratcliffe resides in Monaco and another Greater Mancunian lives nearby in the Principality: Paul Mitchell.
Manchester United fans have a hang-up with the Monaco director of football Mitchell almost as much as Ratcliffe and a collaboration back home would surely be feasible if Ratcliffe was to take majority ownership of his boyhood club.
By moving from Hampshire to Monaco, Ratcliffe is estimated to have saved £4billion in taxes and his estimated worth in The Sunday Times Rich List is £6.075bn.
