Man United sale: Jim Ratcliffe says he’s submitted 2nd bid

Associated Press  

MANCHESTER, England — The proposed sale of Manchester United gathered pace Thursday when British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe said he had submitted a second bid for the iconic soccer team. American merchant bank Raine had given bidders more time to fine-tune proposals by extending Wednesday night’s deadline for the latest round of offers for the Premier League club. “Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS can confirm we have submitted a revised bid,” INEOS said Thursday. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani is also set to submit a fresh offer and appears to be the main rival to Ratcliffe in the battle to take charge of the 20-time English league champions.
