Man Utd takeover LIVE: Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new bid CONFIRMED, Qatar latest, Thomas Zilliacus enters fray – updates
SIR JIM Ratcliffe has made his formal pitch to take control of Manchester United.
And the bid has been received 24 hours BEFORE the new bidding deadline expired.
Ratcliffe and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani remain the leading contenders with both due to confirm world record £5bn-plus second bids for United.
But they face the growing threat that the club could still remain in the hands of the Glazer family – after US hedge fund Elliott Management made an offer to take a minority stake that will allow the owners to STAY in charge.
While another potential buyer has also emerged, with Finnish entrepreneur Thomas Zilliacus set to submit a bid for the Red Devils.
SunSport can exclusively reveal that Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is stalling over a new deal at Old Trafford.
