A growing number of Manchester United supporters have hit out at Sir Jim Ratcliffe amid claims that the British billionaire is offering a way for the Glazer family to remain involved with the club.
According to reports published by both the Mail and The Times, Ratcliffe, who submitted an official offer to buy United back in February, is offering a deal that would see Joel and Avram Glazer retain 20 per cent stake in the club. It is claimed that the offer would see the INEOS chief executive take a controlling stake of more than 50 per cent.
In the event of said proposal getting the green light, it would see the Glazers, who the United supporters are desperate to see the back of, continue their association with the club. United fans have been desperate to see the back of the American owners for years and were confident that their decision to put the club on the market back in November would signal the beginning of the end for them at Old Trafford.

The report adds that it is 'thought that the final portion currently owned by various investment groups would also remain in place.'
With United's supporters desperate to see the end of the Glazer era, news of Ratcliffe reportedly being prepared to reach an agreement with them to stay on has infuriated them. They have blasted
