📢Resolved to NO
PROOF PER CLUB STATEMENT

  • Admittedly read this too quick. And ownership stake is not completed, just "in agreement".

predictedYES

predictedNO

@Predictor does Ratcliffe own a share of Manchester United currently?

predictedNO

@Predictor as mentioned, although there has been an agreement between the relevant parties, Ratcliffe won't become an owner until some formalities have completed, very likely in the new year. This will resolve NO. The creator is also inactive, so this will be resolved by a moderator.

You'll see headlines in the new year when it becomes official I'm sure.

The question is about ownership, not the agreement. Ownership requires the formalities to have completed.

There is an agreement, but it is yet to be made official. Ratcliffe does not presently officially own any of Manchester United, and it looks like he won't until the new year

[...]

United’s statement noted the deal was still “subject to customary regulatory approvals” which is expected to take some time. The process must be ratified by the Premier League and also an official announcement made via the New York Stock Exchange.

[...] even if concluded on Friday, it will be "weeks into the new year before it can be fully ratified by the Premier League and other regulators."

Not going to be official this year.
