Sir Jim Ratcliffe is being touted as the man to potentially answer the prayers of countless Manchester United fans, having confirmed his interest in buying the club.
The British billionaire’s interest was confirmed by a spokesperson on Wednesday, following reports the Glazers are considering selling a minority stake in United. It remains to be seen whether they would be open to selling the club, but Ratcliffe is one of few people who could genuinely finance a takeover.
Ratcliffe has previously been linked with a potential takeover of the club but has talked down the possibility. His view appears to have changed now, with a spokesperson telling The Times: “If the club is up for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer.”
