After long being linked with a move to buy Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has finally declared his interest in a takeover of his boyhood club.
With the Glazers reportedly open to selling, the Oldham-born billionaire has spoken about the prospect of buying the team he grew up watching. And he is one of very few with the financial power to pull off a purchase.
Ratcliffe has earned his fortunes as the owner of chemical powerhouse Ineos, which has made him a billionaire as well as Britain’s richest man.
