After months of back and forth and major uncertainty, Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to have won his bid to purchase 25% of Manchester United and become a minority stakeholder. Ratcliffe was in a bidding war with Qatari businessman Sheik Jassim. Rumour has it that a few of the Glazer brothers did not want to sell. This decision has caused frustration among the United faithful, with many suggesting being state-owned by an Arabic country is a far better boat to be in than Ratcliffe's proposal.
The Red Devils have been in fine form in recent weeks, having won their past three matches in all competitions, with a surprising boost of performance from former captain Harry Maguire. The club is not only desperate for silverware, and perhaps better management from up top, but in the simplest of terms, they are desperate to win games too, and their fans share this sentiment. Erik ten Hag and company will face a tough opponent this coming weekend, though, when the blue half of Manchester travels to Old Trafford in what is perhaps the biggest sporting match-up in the world.
