Manchester United investment hopeful Sir Jim Ratcliffe is on the verge of having his minority acquisition formally confirmed.

Ratcliffe has been the frontrunner to purchase a 25 per cent stake in United since October when Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani withdrew from the process.

The 1958 fan group organised a peaceful protest last Saturday at Old Trafford calling for a full sale only. Ratcliffe's task now is to win over those who are sceptical, one of whom is former United centre-back Rio Ferdinand, and the INEOS chief could get off to a good start with his first major hire.
