The English Football Association has approved Sir Jim Ratcliffe's purchase of a 25 per cent stake in Premier League club Manchester United.
British billionaire Ratcliffe's investment, which will give him control of football operations at the 20-time English champions, received the backing of the Premier League on Monday evening.
And now the FA have now also given the green light to the bid, which means Ratcliffe edges closer to sealing his place in the Old Trafford boardroom.
Within an amended tender offer statement published on Wednesday afternoon came confirmation that the national governing body's approval "has already been obtained".
