illionaire tycoon Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been revealed as the popular bidder to purchase Manchester United from the Glazer household, after three rounds of bidding.

The Glazers’ chosen deal-maker, the US-based Raine Group, is anticipated to verify the successful bid inside days, and the Sun has revealed that Ratcliffe is its first alternative. The English petrochemicals magnate, 70, has been engaged in a five-month-long bidding struggle with Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani for possession of the membership he has supported since he was a boy.
