SIR JIM RATCLIFFE is considering making an offer to buy a minority stake in Manchester United. <\/p>\n
The British billionaire has been in the running with Sheikh Jassim to buy a controlling share of the club from the Glazer family.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Despite the current owners putting United on the market last November, no deal has been struck and negotiations with both are at a stalemate. <\/p>\n
It has been reported that there are disagreements between shareholders about the club's \u00a36bn valuation, as well as potential legal issues should a full takeover benefit one party more than another.<\/p>\n
Ratcliffe made a proposal to buy Man Utd for around \u00a35bn earlier this year, as did Sheikh Jassim, but the offers did not satisfy club chiefs.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the 70-year-old Ineos CEO is set to ditch his attempt to become the majority owner and instead try to purchase a smaller stake.<\/p>\n
