Their purchase of United also saddled the club with huge debts and they have long been accused of taking more out financially than they have invested in terms of transfer funds. United have yet to comment on the news of the 70-year-old’s interest in taking over from the United States-based Glazers. United’s owners, the Glazer family, said they were willing to listen to offers for the Premier League club in November and Ratcliffe is keen to strike a deal.

Manchester United takeover: Ineos and Jim Ratcliffe officially enter ... (SportsPro Media)

Chemicals giant founder confirms he has put himself forward to acquire Premier League giants from Glazer family.

A stumbling block for Ratcliffe could be his ownership of other European clubs. He bought the Ligue 1 club in 2019 for €100 million (US$108 million) – United have been valued north of UK£5 billion (US$6.2 billion). However, there will be no issues provided they don’t play in the same competition. One of Ratcliffe’s reasons for buying Nice was he felt at the time that English soccer teams were overvalued. Ratcliffe and Ineos are the first to publicly declare their intention of acquiring United. While Ratcliffe’s wider sports portfolio includes French top-tier soccer outfit Nice and Switzerland’s Lausanne, United are an entirely different commitment for the 70-year-old.
