Britain's richest man to bid for Man United after Glazers put club up for sale
They're looking for a price in excess of £6billion to walk away from Old Trafford, a sum which only a limited amount of people can afford. A lifelong United fan, Ratcliffe is one of them.
Telegraph, however, reports that the Ineos chief is wary of paying over the odds, as there's concern broker Raine Group will be pushing for a price beyond United's true value.
Ratcliffe is familiar with Raine as they handled the sale of Chelsea earlier this year. He lost out to Todd Boehly after tabling a last-minute £4.25bn bid for the Blues.
The 70-year-old is the owner of Ligue 1 club Nice.
