69-year-old Jim Ratcliffe interested in buying Manchester United

A 69-year-old business mogul of British origin, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has shown interest in the acquisition of Manchester United football club.

Bloomberg had reported that the Glazers are willing to sell a minority stake at Manchester United.

The report reads “If the club is for sale, Jim is a potential buyer,” Ratcliffe’s spokesperson told The Times, the BBC Sport reports.

“If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership.”

United, 20-time English champions, are bottom of the Premier League after losing both their opening games of the season under new manager Erik Hag.

Manchester United has been a shadow of its former self since the departure of renowned gaffer, sir Alex Ferguson.

This summer has seen new signings fail to materialize, including a fruitless pursuit of Barcelona’s Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, while superstar striker Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Old Trafford.
