INEOS chief executive Sir Jim Ratcliffe has declared his interest in buying Manchester United, kicking off a likely bidding war for the club. Ratcliffe has previously expressed interested in purchasing Chelsea but missed out after entering his bid after the deadline for interest had passed.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital won the battle though and Ratcliffe is now interested in acquiring another Premier League club.
Now, with both Liverpool and Manchester United looking at potential extra investment - with the belief that they would sell for the right price - Ratcliffe has entered the fray once more. The British businessman is a Red Devils fan and has gone public with his interest in taking over from the Glazers.
