British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has expressed his enthusiasm about acquiring a stake in Manchester United, describing it as the “most exciting thing” he has done. Ratcliffe, who has been in discussions about the potential investment, indicated that the deal is unlikely to be finalized before early to mid-February.
During the process, Ratcliffe has also confirmed that he has met with Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag. However, when questioned about possible player signings in January, Ratcliffe chose not to comment on the matter.
Erik ten Hag is currently at the helm of Manchester United, steering the team through the ongoing football season. Ratcliffe’s interest in the club marks a significant moment for the storied football institution, as they potentially welcome a new investor on board.
