Inside Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS' transfer strategy amid Manchester United takeover bid

After a fractious relationship with their current ownership, Manchester United fans share a common hope for positivity moving forwards.

The two frontrunners to takeover the club are Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. Speculation suggests the latter is in pole position to complete his purchase with Avram and Joel Glazer reportedly willing to agree to a full sale.

However, sources close to Sheikh Jassim's camp last week refused to admit the process was falling in favour of their bid and appeared to suggest both parties had an equal chance of completing a takeover.

Should Ratcliffe win the race to buy United, there remains something of an unknown regarding the money United would have to spend in the transfer market.
