Man United fan explains why he DOESN'T want Sir Jim Ratcliffe to buy the club, worried supporters agree with him

A Manchester United fan has expressed his deep concern over Sir Jim Ratcliffe potentially acquiring the club, with other supporters agreeing with his claim.

The 70-year-old businessman appears to be in pole position to buy Man United amid interest from his Qatari rival.

If his offer his accepted, the Glazer family would keep a minority stake in the cub, which would mark a controversial move as Man United supporters have vehemently protested against their current owners in recent seasons and want them OUT of the club.

This was echoed by Man United fan John, who called in to talkSPORT to convey his worry about Ratcliffe purchasing the Premier League giants.

He claimed the Red Devils wouldn't win the Premier League title for 'another 30 or 40 years' with him in charge of the Old Trafford outfit in a damning assessment.

😳 “Sir Jim Ratcliffe, if you bring the Glazers with you, you are a Glazer.”

❌ “We don’t want you at our club.”

🙅‍♂️ “We wouldn’t win the title for another 30 or 40 years with him.”

"Sir Jim Ratcliffe, if you bring the Glazers with you, you are a Glazer," he told Mark Goldbridge. "We don’t want you at our club.

"We wouldn’t win the title for another 30 or 40 years with him."

John's view on Ratcliffe's pursuit of Man United was backed by other fans on social media.

One tweeted: "This is how every United fan feels, no doubt."

A second wrote: "I felt this guys pain. #GlazersOut."

A third added: "I will renounce my support for the club unfortunately."

A fourth said: "We want Qatar and fans need to voice it."

Another commented: "Jim Ratcliffe is essentially Mike Ashley."

Sheikh Jassim, a Qatari banker, remains intent on purchasing 100% of Man United, having placed an offer worth more than £5 billion.

Ratcliffe, however, values Man United higher but would only takeover a share of the club, thought to be 69% or slightly more than 50% should Glazer brothers Joel and Avram wish to stay on.
