Britain’s richest man given short shrift by Man United
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has heard nothing from the Glazer Family about his interest in Manchester United, more than a week after announcing his interest in buying the club, sources have told ESPN.
Ratcliffe, worth a reported £9.8 billion ($11.6bn), has suggested he is willing to open negotiations about a takeover at Old Trafford as fan pressure mounts on the Glazers.
Sources have told ESPN the Glazers are looking for investment to help fund the redevelopment of Old Trafford, although Ratcliffe, who made a £4.25bn ($5.2bn) bid to buy Chelsea in May, would be keen for a full takeover. However, there has been no indication the Glazers are looking to relinquish control.
