US EditionSir Jim Ratcliffe ready to sell one of his clubs in order to finance a full takeover of Manchester United: Reports
- Sir Jim Ratcliffe is preparing to sell OGC Nice to fund a full takeover of Manchester United as of early 2025.
- Ratcliffe acquired Nice through INEOS in 2019 for about £89 million and holds a 27.7% stake in Manchester United since late 2023.
- Nice has consistently finished fifth in Ligue 1 under Ratcliffe's ownership but has not won any major titles or qualified for the Champions League.
- Ratcliffe expressed that although Nice has talented players, he finds the overall quality of their football insufficiently impressive to capture his interest.
- The sale of Nice would provide capital to consolidate ownership of Manchester United, where Ratcliffe is enforcing cost-cutting and leadership changes amid mixed public opinion.
