A round-up of your latest Manchester United headlines as Sir Jim Ratcliffe edges closer to a minority stake in the club
As expected, the news agenda surrounding Old Trafford focuses on the partial takeover expected to be green-lighted this week. Sir Jim Ratcliffe appears to have beaten Sheikh Jassim in the race for Manchester United.
Is this the beginning of the end for the Glazers after 18 years of apathy? Here are your United morning headlines for Monday, October 16. According to the recent Sunday Times Rich List published earlier this year, Ratcliffe’s assets total a staggering £29.3bn - making him Britain’s second richest man. Indian-born Gopichand Hinduja placed first with a mouth-watering £35bn.
Interestingly, Ratcliffe has deeper pockets than Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour although, as an Emirati royal, he has access to family assets beyond that total. All but five Premier League clubs, Luton Town, Burnley, Sheffield United, Brentford and Nottingham Forest are owned by billionaires.
