Manchester United takeover might take a really unexpected turn.

The red devils current owners have made it really complicated to complete the take over for any of the current bidders, and the fact is that now there is an unexpected turn.

It seems that the offer from Sir Jim Ratcliffe was going to get accpeted in the next part of the season, and when every thing seemed to be really close to be done, the Glazers decided to stop the process, and the fact is that there are some news that could even force the CEO of INEOS to considere to withdraw his current offer to buy the team.

The fact is that Sir Jim Ratcliffe wanted to buy 25% of Manchester United, but he had the plan to take over 100% of the team in the net three years, meaning that by 2026 he would be the only owner of the team, but it seems that the Glazers did not like that idea and the fact is that now there are forcing him to retire the offer for the team.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe tried to include that clause in his take over contract, and the fact is that now the Glazers have only rejected that, and the patience of both parties is about to end, and that could mean that the take over process might suffer a really low blow with the current situation from both bidders deciding to take more time to negotiate with them.

One of the main concern of many sources is the fact that it seems that the brothers and sisters inside the Glazers family have not been able to agree on which offer to accept, and there are sources close to them that believe that while there are some members interested in the offer from the Sheikh Jassim, some other prefer the Sir Jim Ratcliffe one.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe future

Most sources believe that Sir Jim Ratcliffe would be ready to withdraw his offer in the next week if he is unable to reach an agreement with the Glazers, meaning that the take over process could really change in the next few days.
