The owner of the chemical company Ineos, billionaire Ratcliffe, has entered the race to replace the Glazers, who now own Old Trafford in response to calls for their ouster.
The US tycoons have drawn criticism from fans since they took over in 2005 for the financial constraints they imposed on the team while still pocketing millions of pounds in dividend payments for their own benefit.
The pressure on United's unpopular owners has intensified once further as a result of the team's appalling start to the season under new head coach Erik ten Hag, who has lost his first two Premier League games.
Ratcliffe has announced his ambition to buy out the Glazers and seize complete ownership of Manchester United, as supporters and experts have called for their resignation.
Following that event, United supporters changed the 69-year-old Ratcliffe's Wikipedia page to reflect their eagerness for him to take over.
After being tweaked by an eager fan, Ratcliffe's occupation on the website briefly read: 'Chairman and CEO, Owner of Manchester United' before being swiftly deleted.
