- Ineos owner’s acquisition of 27.7% of shares completed
- Ratcliffe vows to take United ‘back to top of world football’
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s 27.7% buy-in at Manchester United has been officially completed. Confirmation of the Ineos owner’s purchase has been a formality since the announcement on Christmas Eve that his offer of a little more than £1bn for a quarter of the club had been accepted by the Glazers, the majority shareholders.
Ratcliffe, who has gained control of United’s football policy, completed his acquisition of 25% of the club’s Class B shares and 25% of the club’s Class A shares. The deal makes him the largest individual United shareholder.
