Manchester United owners the Glazer family are currently faced with two credible bidders for the club. On the one side is Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the head of multinational chemicals company INEOS.

He is a self-proclaimed United supporter having grown-up in Failsworth. His interest in buying a football club has been well documented.

Ratcliffe previously failed in a bid to buy Chelsea when it was put up for sale by Roman Abramovich. While he is a relatively known quantity, less is known about his rival Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani.

Ratcliffe is aiming to purchase 60 per cent of United, Sheikh Jassim wants to buy 100 per cent of the club and has committed an extra $1bn (£790m) of investment on top of his $5bn (£3.9bn) bid.
