Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s £1.25billion investment in Manchester United is finally set to go through next week at a critical point in the season for manager Erik ten Hag.
Sources have confirmed that Ratcliffe’s acquisition of a quarter of the club from the Glazer family is expected to be announced early in the week.
The British billionaire will purchase 25 per cent of the A-shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange as well as 25 per cent of the Glazers’ B-shares which have greater voting rights. He will pump an additional £245m into the club to upgrade Old Trafford and Carrington.
