Man Utd takeover: Key figures are jealous of the revenue Tottenham make from their stadium (Image: GETTY)
Regarding Ratcliffe, former West Ham striker Frank McAvennie recently opened up on the 70-year-old.
And he expressed a belief the INEOS chairman would be the perfect man for Erik ten Hag to work under, at a time where the Dutchman is improving the squad.
“I think Erik ten Hag is there for the long haul,” he said. “He has got a bit of Fergie in him. He is not scared to drop people, he is not scared to say what he thinks and that can only be good for the club.
“All you want to chairman to do is support the manager. Run the club but support the manager.
“I think that could be a match made in heaving Jim Ratcliffe and Erik ten Hag.“

McAvennie previously slammed the Glazers, too, insisting everybody wants to see the back of the family.
“I do not think there is anyone who does not want that family out,” he said. “From the supporters right through to the players I do not think there is anyone. They have made shambles after shambles after shambles, mistake after mistake after mistake.
“It is smoke and mirrors, they have not done anything.
“I think Ratcliffe is no fool, he will not pay over the top for it. I think he is a Man United supporter, what a result that is.
“He has got more money than sense but if you are going to buy a club Man United is certainly the club to buy.”
