Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of the richest people in the UK. Bought a 2nd division Swiss team in 2017 before buying a bigger team in OGC Nice in France in 2019.
He said he wanted to learn at Nice and give it a good go before writing a bigger cheque for a huge club. I guess he thinks he's learnt enough as he attempted to buy Chelsea earlier this year for approx £4bn.
Since taking over at OGC Nice hes taken them from 7th to finish 6th and they finished last season in 5th position which is their highest finish in the past 5 seasons. Nice have also sold the odd player each season making good profits on them.
He's previously commented on the poor spending at United since Ferguson left and seems to have operated OGC sensibly without spending big sums on individual players.
If he was after Chelsea I don't see why he wouldn't be interested in United where there is much more room for growth on and off the pitch if he was to repair the squad and clubs football and commercial image around the World.
Some reading below on past comments on Nice and Man United.
