In what has been a long and somewhat tedious process, the sale of Manchester United is seemingly coming to a conclusion.
News emerged on Friday afternoon that the Glazers had finally chosen their preferred bidder, and with that the share price of the club plummeted. After the club was put up for sale in November, and after three separate rounds of bidding, it seems Sir Jim Ratcliffe has won.
Up against the Qataris, who still may enter an eleventh-hour bid in a desperate attempt to take over the club, Oldham-born Ratcliffe has finally got a hold of the football team he supports. That is according to The Times, who report the Glazers and The Raine Group are ready to enter final negotiations with the British billionaire.
