Ratcliffe's decision to become United's new owner comes as a surprise to everyone

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been very confident in his latest statements to the media, and it would seem that the Glazer family would take him as the favourite to take over the club, ahead of Sheikh Jassim Al Thani who has also made a great proposal that has all the fans excited. 

However, the balance would start to tip in favour of the British billionaire, as the Glazers have shown more openness with him in the meetings they have held, making it clear that Ratcliffe's offer to buy only a percentage of the shares would be better than that of the Qatari sheikh who seeks to have control of the entire team, in addition to a complete renovation of the club. 

That is why the media have been approaching the businessman, who was asked if he would add the name of INEOS, his company, to the Old Trafford stadium if he became the new owner of United, to which Ratcliffe replied that he had not even thought about it, which would leave in doubt his future decision and whether he would seek to change the name of the Red Devils' stadium. 

What could be known is that both contenders have very different visions and plans, which could mark a new beginning for Manchester United and that decision making could affect or benefit the future of the club. 

Sheikh Jassim's vision has fans excited. 

According to Qatari media, Sheikh Jassim Al Thani is the favourite to win the race to become the new owner of Manchester United, while Jim Ratcliffe has been mentioned as the favourite of the glazers, so we are still in the uncertainty of who could be the new owner; what is already known is the offer that the Qatari Sheikh put on the table, which is more than 6. 000 billion, an avenue of money that would be virtually unlimited for new signings and rebuilding, as well as taking full control of the club and locking the Glazers out of any management, something we fans have been waiting for.
