The discussions appeared as a long and laborious soap opera. The Glazers aiming to get as much money as possible. Raine Group, which is managing the takeover, is said to have made its decision.
Ratcliffe, who already owns OGC Nice, would be ready to invest heavily in the Manchester club. In particular, he intends to provide substantial funds to Erik Ten Hag to strengthen the team this transfer window.
As a reminder, Manchester United finished 3rd in the Premier League standings and secured participation in the next edition of the Champions League, which already implied a significant budget for the transfer window. The arrival of the billionaire should allow him to go a little further in his spending.
