Sir Jim Ratcliffe is interested in buying a stake in Manchester United, his spokesperson has said, with a view to taking full control of the club.
“If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer,” Ratcliffe’s spokesperson told The Times.
Ratcliffe, Britain’s richest man, is the CEO of Ineos Group Ltd and owns cycling team Ineos Grenadiers as well as Ligue 1 club Nice, who he took over in 2019.
The 69-year-old tabled a last-minute ?4.25 billion bid to buy Chelsea this summer but saw his offer rejected as American businessman Todd Boehly successfully took over the club.
The Glazer family are considering selling a minority stake in Manchester United, according to Bloomberg.
