British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe took the first step in the process of taking over Manchester United.
Yesterday it became known that the billionaire Ineos will apply to take over the reins of “Old Trafford”.
Through his representative, Ratcliffe stated his desire to own his childhood club and finally end the Glazer era.
It was also reported that the 71-year-old’s people held talks with United and Glazer chiefs just hours before making their announcement.
Ratcliffe is no stranger to owning and managing a football club. Ineos owns French club OGC Nice.
There were rumors about how Ratcliffe would own United and Nice if he can acquire the 20-time English champions.
UEFA laws will not allow the Red Devils to face Nice in European competitions.
However, this has not dampened the hopes of OGC Nice club leaders to establish partnerships with United, one of the biggest football clubs in the world.
L’Equipe reports: “Even if Ineos manages to gobble up Manchester United, it won’t affect OGK Nice.”
“Those who run the French team say they are happy that Nice could eventually become a springboard or bridge club for Manchester United.

However, there is still a long way to go before this possibility becomes a reality.
Other information regarding Ratcliffe’s takeover effort is that seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is not currently involved.
