The British billionaire has recently acquired a 25% stake in the club for £1.03 billion and his investment is expected to be finalized by mid-February. However, there are rules that could force Ratcliffe to sell his share if the Glazers decide to sell United outright after the first 18 month period. In addition, Ratcliffe has expressed his commitment to bringing back the glory days to the club and has promised to work towards achieving success on and off the pitch.
Potential Sale of Stake
The article highlights the possibility of Ratcliffe having to sell his 25% stake in Manchester United in 18 months.

Ratcliffe’s Commitment to the Club
In a letter to the Manchester United Supporters Trust, Ratcliffe expressed his commitment to bringing back the glory days to the club. He emphasized the need for time, patience, and professional management to achieve sporting success on the pitch and complement the commercial success the club has enjoyed.
