Football fans have questioned Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision to buy a 25 percent stake of Manchester United, which will see the Glazers remain in control of the club.
The petrochemicals billionaire, a boyhood United fan, initially lodged a bid for a majority stake in the club when the Glazers announced last November that they were open to investment or a full sale.
But after a prolonged impasse, Ratfcliffe submitted an adjusted offer, believed to be worth between £1.4 and £1.5billion, for a 25 percent stake in the club in the first step in what is being viewed as a staged buyout.
