SIR JIM RATCLIFFE'S \u00a31.35billion 25 per cent takeover of Manchester United has been delayed, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The 70-year-old's bid was initially expected to be given the green light in a Red Devils board meeting this week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sheikh Jassim withdrew from the race last week, clearing the path for Ratcliffe to agree a minority stake with the Glazer family.<\/p>\n

But according to the Telegraph, there are still finer details with Ratcliffe's bid that need to be ironed out.<\/p>\n

They claim that a deal is still expected within the next fortnight, however, with Ratcliffe keen to get started.<\/p>\n

The Ineos chief wants to be granted control of football operations at United.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe is claimed to be an admirer of under-pressure boss Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

But the futures of Richard Arnold and John Murtough under Ratcliffe remain unclear.<\/p>\n

The British tycoon still hopes to complete a full takeover one day.<\/p>\n

It's claimed that he wants clauses attached to his initial bid that lay the path for a future offer.<\/p>\n

Prior to any deal with Ratcliffe going through, the Glazer family possess 96 per cent of the voting rights on United's board, despite owning 69 per cent of the club.<\/p>\n

Their voting rights are expected to be "diluted" following Ratcliffe's arrival.<\/p>\n

SunSport revealed that Old Trafford employees had been gearing up for Sheikh Jassim to complete his full takeover as recently as this month.<\/p>\n

They were then left stunned by the news that the Qatari had pulled out.<\/p>\n

A number of the six strong Glazer family members on the United board were happy to sell to Sheikh Jassim entirely.<\/p>\n

But Joel Glazer, in control of the process, was in favour of keeping majority shares in the club, unless Jassim upped his bid again.<\/p>\n
