According to The Times, British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is considering making an offer for a 25 per cent stake in Manchester United. This move, which would leave the Glazer family in control of the club, comes after Ratcliffe had initially proposed buying a controlling stake. The potential offer is said to be around £1.5 billion.

The proposal is seen as an attempt to break the deadlock in the ongoing sale process of the club, which has been ongoing for ten months.
