From boyhood fan to Old Trafford power broker

LONDON — British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe already has interests in soccer, Formula 1 and cycling. He now owns a slice of his boyhood club, Manchester United.

It was announced on Sunday that the founder of chemicals giant INEOS had bought a 25 percent stake in the Premier League giant after a protracted saga.

INEOS joined the race to buy United early this year after the club's owners, the Glazer family, said they were willing to listen to offers.
