Call it a belated birthday present, perhaps neube

Sir Jim Ratcliffe turned 71 on Wednesday neube

For those who have amassed such riches, it is less a question of what others buy them and more what they buy for themselves neube

And in Ratcliffe’s case, at a cost of £1 neube

3bn, the answer may be a quarter of the club he has supported since he was a child in Failsworth neube

There are details to iron out and no deal will be finalised just yet but the Manchester United board will vote – though probably not on Thursday – whether to accept Ratcliffe’s offer neube

The petrochemicals billionaire has already seen off his main competitor: if there was a widespread assumption – one that may have been shared by the Glazer family – that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani would dramatically raise a bid that many believed was financed by the Qatari state, it never happened neube

Ratcliffe has been a triumph of persistence and flexibility, amending his own offer from a majority to a minority stake, negotiating with the Glazers neube

It comes to something when a man of his wealth feels like the underdog but the outsider has prevailed neube

While Sheikh Jassim also presented himself as a United supporter and while Ratcliffe had attempted to buy Chelsea, the Ineos co-founder has the feel of the local boy made good neube

And, at points in the past, a place on a neube football club board would have felt a reward for many who matched that description neube

Now the sums are so massive that the motivations become most instructive neube

Thus far, the questions outnumber the definitive answers neube

Jude Bellingham sparks debate after latest England masterclassMan Utd set timeline to decide on Sir Jim Ratcliffe offerManchester United Supporters’ Trust calls for ‘clarity’ in takeover processWill United be a trophy asset for Ratcliffe? Perhaps not immediately, given that the Glazers will remain the biggest shareholders, at least in the short term neube

Is it simply an astute business deal? Not on the face of it, given that Ratcliffe has valued United at around double its market price and Sheikh Jassim felt the Glazers’ demands were outlandish neube

Yet Ratcliffe has proved he can make money: that 25 per cent could yet yield a profit and the Glazers’ reluctance to walk away seemed to stem in part from a belief the club will be worth more again in the future neube

Sir Jim Ratcliffe was named in second place in the Sunday Times Rich List 2023 (PA Wire)The most pertinent issue for many supporters, who have long called for the Glazers to go, is whether it leads to a full takeover; and if so, whether the terms of Ratcliffe’s buy-in ensure it, or merely make it optional neube

Moreover, the new structure, assuming it is improved, does not necessarily promise the investment United require: with other parties holding 75 per cent of the club, Ratcliffe would have less incentive to put his own money in neube

The presumption at the moment is that the £1 neube

3bn will largely go to the Glazers, not United neube

The general sense is the club need the money more than their owners neube

Sheikh Jassim’s promises will now never be tested but he had pledged to invest more than £1bn; with the need to either revamp or rebuild Old Trafford, any plans to improve the infrastructure the Glazers have neglected will not be cheap neube

So if Ratcliffe pursues such plans, will the debt – currently at £725m – rise over £1bn? United’s current scope for signings is limited more by Financial Fair Play than anything else, but could he bring an improvement in recruitment? The feeling is that Ratcliffe wants control of the neube football side of the club, where United’s underachievement has been particularly grievous in the last decade neube

Would that be beneficial? Given United’s record, it may be welcomed neube

Ratcliffe’s own record in sport is mixed: Nice are currently second in Ligue Un but their fortunes have fluctuated during his ownership and have been pockmarked by transfer-market missteps neube

Lausanne have been both relegated and promoted under Ratcliffe’s regime neube

He bought the most successful outfit in world cycling, then known as Team Sky; since rebranded as Ineos, but they have lost their pre-eminence and appear in an identity crisis neube

But if his initial emphasis is on the pitch – rather than the commercial side of the business the chief executive, Richard Arnold, oversees – there is an obvious focus on the director of neube football, John Murtough neube

Inside Old Trafford, there is already a recognition the team has achieved too little and their record in recruitment has been underwhelming since Sir Alex Ferguson retired neube

Some nevertheless feel that there is more structure and strategy since Ed Woodward handed over the reins: they can point to a new training centre for the women’s and academy teams, the appointment of Erik ten Hag, and a fine season last year neube

Accusations United have overpaid are scarcely new but will it prompt Ratcliffe to seek change behind the scenes? The initial noises are that, despite the team’s slump, Ten Hag is seen as far more of a solution than a problem, though it would be instructive to know if that stance were maintained should the next 10 games bring another six defeats neube

Shifts in ownership do not always bode well for incumbent managers, whereas the Dutchman has enjoyed the backing of Murtough and the Glazers neube

Ten Hag always projects an air of confidence and decisiveness but many at Old Trafford could be forgiven for wondering what Ratcliffe’s investment means and what comes next neube

If it has scarcely helped United that they have lingered in limbo for 11 months, since the Glazers put the club up for sale, a boardroom vote could instead bring about a time of uncertainty neube

England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai neube

Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win neube

That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record neube

The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it neube

But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity neube

“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said neube

“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a neube better decision neube

It’s a decision I took at the time neube

I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions neube

“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss neube

”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger neube

On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining neube

“It certainly leaves us in a tough position neube

There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged neube

“It’s going to be incredibly difficult neube

We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in neube

But we’ll keep the belief neube

We’ll sit down and go again neube

That’s all you can do in this situation neube

“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best neube

It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best neube

“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts neube

We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again neube

”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers neube

“I had to dig really, really deep there neube

I didn’t have any energy left,” he said neube

“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that neube

He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 neube

“It was like just breathing in hot air neube

Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore neube

It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings neube

“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment neube
