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
Various sources claim he could buy 25 per cent of Man Utd for a figure of around \u00a31.5bn.<\/p>\n The bid would see Ratcliffe take an equal amount of A and B shares.<\/p>\n The B shares are held by the Glazers, while A shares are those publicly traded.<\/p>\n If Ratcliffe's proposal is accepted, it means the American owners will remain in control of the club. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n This will be unpopular with many fans and ex-players who have loudly protested the Glazers' presence.<\/p>\n However, it could raise extra capital for transfers or for improvements to be made to a decaying Old Trafford.<\/p>\n The move could also help with debt after it hit \u00a31bn and the club's share price, which plummeted due to the takeover stalemate.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sheikh Jassim has not changed his aim of becoming Man Utd's majority owner.<\/p>\n MAN UTD NEWS LIVE: Stay up to date with all of the latest transfer and takeover news from Old Trafford<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>POWER UP <\/span><\/p>\n
