Sir Jim Ratcliffe could be the man to end the Glazer family’s 17-year reign of apathy at Old Trafford. Supporters are getting excited at the prospect of Manchester United changing hands for the first time since 2005.
The Telegraph are reporting that the 70-year-old will bid for the club just 24 hours after news broke about the Glazers’ potential exit. A statement from the family on Tuesday discussed the possibility of selling the club.
"As we seek to continue building on the club's history of success, the board has authorised a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives," it read. "We will evaluate all options to ensure that we best serve our fans and that Manchester United maximises the significant growth opportunities available to the club today and in the future.
