Manchester United is one of the most famous names in the world of football. Alongside Chelsea and Liverpool, the club is an incredibly recognisable brand with a fiercely loyal fanbase. The Glazer family bought the club in 2005. It has indicated the club is up “on the auction block”. INEOS founder Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in the UK, has indicated that he has entered bidding for the company. Ratcliff recently bid +£4B in a failed attempt to purchase Chelsea. The other major party who has formally entered the bidding process is the government of Saudi Arabia.
