Sir Jim Ratcliffe is hopeful of completing a deal to buy a minority stake in Manchester United over the next fortnight.
The British billionaire is set to spend about £1.25bn to acquire £25% of the club and gain control of football operations. It is likely the agreement will be finalised before United play Everton at Goodison Park on 26 November. Although informed sources said next week appeared too soon for a deal, the following week is regarded as realistic.
