The deadline for bids for the club is tonight at 10pm and there has been a host of interest.

Ratcliffe has made his desire to own the Old Trafford outfit since before the Glazers put the club up for sale.

And, as a fellow supporter of the club, 45.75 per cent of fans have voted in favour of him running the club.

The Brit has experience in football as he is the current owner of Ligue 1 side OCG Nice.

However, there were plenty of people that would prefer a takeover to be completed by the Qatari group of investors, who got just ONE per cent less of the votes.

44.55 per cent of fans voted for the Qatari investors.

As reported by L’Equipe, the entity in question is a former Prime Minister of Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, cousin of the father of the current Emir of Qatar and owner of PSG, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.

They are believed to be willing to offer £5billion for the club.

There was a small percentage of people that opted for the Glazers to remain in control of the club.

3.59 per cent of the vote went to the current owners, however, this was the smallest share of the vote.

While 6.11 per cent of people voting did not want any of the previous options and would prefer another entity took over the club.
