British billionaire Ratcliffe linked with United purchase

British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe is interested in buying a stake in Manchester United, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The club's owners, the American Glazer family, are under pressure with United sitting bottom of the Premier League after two games of the season. Bloomberg reported they would consider selling a minority stake, opening the door for Ratcliffe.

The Times first reported Ratcliffe's interest on Wednesday.
