Lewis Hamilton has hinted at Man Utd role as Sir Jim Ratcliffe confirms takeover bid

Daily Mirror says Lewis Hamilton previously suggested he would jump at the chance of being involved in a Manchester United takeover bid – as Sir Jim Ratcliffe finally confirmed his plans.

The British billionaire has been flirting with the prospect of buying his childhood club for several months as many United fans pine for a new owner. The Glazer family finally put the club up for sale in November after intense pressure from supporters who have been demanding changes.

Formula 1 star Hamilton has a strong relationship with Ratcliffe. Not only is the 70-year-old a part-owner of his Mercedes team, but the two Brits are also friends and Hamilton has openly said he sees the billionaire as more of a partner than a boss.
