The Red Devils’ fanbase has called on fellow United fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Britain’s richest man, to buy the club after his Chelsea offer. But in October, the 69-year-old revealed the Glazers had told him that the club wasn’t for sale… or at least not to him.
“It is owned by the six children of the father, and they don’t want to sell,” Ratcliffe told a Financial Times Live conference. “I met Joel and Avram, and they are the nicest people. They are proper gentlemen. If it had been for sale in the summer, yes, we would probably have had a go following on from the Chelsea thing. But we can’t sit around hoping that one day Manchester United will become available.”
