INEOS' announcement that Sir Jim Ratcliffe officially completed his partial takeover of Manchester United appear to contain a detail buried in plain sight.
The British petrolchemicals billionaire officially took control of a 27.7 percent share in the club on Tuesday evening, after the Premier League and the Football Association approved the deal.
Ratcliffe and his company have paid £1.3billion for their stake, which will rise to close to 30 per cent following a further £238m injection into United's coffers.
INEOS confirmed the deal on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
