Speaking in a video marking his company INEOS' 25th anniversary, Ratcliffe has admitted losing out on purchasing United would be "excruciating".<\/p>\n

He said: "You can't really contemplate acquiring a brand like Manchester United and failing because the failure is just far too public and too excruciating."<\/p>\n

The billionaire Brit is already the owner of Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice and Swiss Super League team FC Lausanne-Sport.<\/p>\n

And he has said that his previous experience with the other clubs has helped him to approach this bid for United. <\/p>\n

He explained: "The Manchester United bid would have been unthinkable two or three years ago if we hadn't had some of the experiences, and quite a few of them difficult experiences with Lausanne and Nice."<\/p>\n

A potential deal could still collapse as reports have suggested that the Glazers are considering pulling the club from the shop window and waiting until 2025 to re-list it.<\/p>\n
