The deadline is only hours away
Sir Jim Ratcliffe could team up with another party in an effort to match Manchester United takeover rival Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, it's been claimed.
Unlike Al Thani, Ratcliffe personally made the journey to Manchester last Friday to hold detailed talks with United officials and his entourage impressed club chiefs with their sporting expertise. Mirror Football understands that Sheikh Jassim will on Wednesday launch a huge £5.5bn follow-up offer in an attempt to blow his opponent out the water - but Ratcliffe may have a trick up his sleeve.
Although it's unknown whether any are involved in the 70-year-old's bid, the banks would reportedly be prepared to back a takeover offer through bonds and loans to cover United's existing debt, which currently stands at just below £515million. Ratcliffe has already made it clear to the Glazers that he won't pay "stupid" money to buy the club who he's supported since his childhood.
Have your say! Who'd be better for Man Utd - Ratcliffe or Al Thani? Let us know in the comments section.
