Jim Ratcliffe positions himself in Manchester United takeover
After making an offer to buy Chelsea a few months ago, the owner of OGC Nice and the Monegasque resident would now be interested in buying part of the shares of Manchester United.
While the Glazer family, owners of Manchester United since 2005, are said to be open to selling some of their shares, INEOS boss Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly been part of their interest in entering negotiations.
In any case, this is what a spokesperson for the English group suggested in remarks reported by the daily The temperature. “If the club is for sale, Jim is a potential buyer. If it were possible, we would like to talk about a long-term takeover, did he declare.

It’s not about the money that was spent or not spent. Jim is looking at what can be done now, and knowing how important the club is to the city, it’s a good time for a fresh start.”
Red Devils supporter Jim Ratcliffe had already tried to buy the London club from Chelsea earlier in the summer. The situation would be different with Manchester United, since only a minority entry into the capital of the club is currently possible. Before, perhaps, longer-term total control.
