Jim Ratcliffe emerges as favorite to take over Manchester Unit | Manchester United Empire

Jim Ratcliffe emerges as favorite to take over Manchester United, with his recently revised offer giving him the edge over rival Qatari proposal. Discussions with the Glazer family and their advisors are ongoing about the structure of a deal.

The Glazer family currently considers Jim Ratcliffe's offer for a minority stake more attractive than the Qatari offer for the entire club. The board is expected to discuss the proposal at a meeting in the coming days.

Negotiations with those interested remains ongoing, with Sheikh Jassim’s team continuing talks.
