The Mercedes boss has held talks with the English businessman over his protracted takeover of Manchester United
he English billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, chairman of the chemical group INEOS, submitted a bid just two weeks ago for a 25 percent stake in Manchester United worth around 1.5 billion pounds.
Despite official confirmation of the deal still pending, his ‘friend’ and head of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 team, Toto Wolff, has admitted he would be open to working with Ratcliffe with regards to investing in the club.
“Jim has shared the trajectory with me. I very much respect his values and we trust each other. If we felt it would make sense to be part of the investment group, then I would certainly look at it,” Wolff confessed at the press conference before the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
“Jim and Manchester United is a lover story because he is born there. Our personal relationship is strong and with Ola Kallenius, they call us the Three Amigos because we live in the no bullshi* world. If I felt I could contribute them I would consider joining him at Manchester United.”
