Major Mercedes stakeholder Jim Ratcliffe has confirmed his bid to purchase Manchester United with Lewis Hamilton linked to the venture.

It is not the first time Ratcliffe has been linked to the purchase of a Premier League outfit with him missing out on the opportunity to become owner of Chelsea last year in a bid that had the likes of Sernea Williams and Hamilton listed as investors.
