Mr Knighton told Sky News the Glazers had “run out of steam” and needed to sell. The American family have given no indication that they are prepared to bow to fan pressure by selling the 20-time league champions after 17 years. But Mr Ratcliffe went public this week with his desire to potentially invest in the club the billionaire supported as a child before making his fortune in chemicals with INEOS. Mr Knighton told Sky News: “My message to the Glazer family is that you’re done. Please with honour, with dignity, with professionalism, just quietly push the exit door now. Your time is up, the man is up to sell this football club to the British Sir Jim Ratcliffe’. Mr Knighton had set up his own consortium and claims to have raised more than £3bn, but Mr Ratcliffe’s wealth overshadows their financial firepower. “We need every Manchester United fan to support Sir Jim Ratcliffe,” Knighton said. “If Jim doesn’t, we’ll be there. We’ll start the hostile bid.” Read more: Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s determination should in no way be underestimated Image: Many fans want the Glazer family to sell out Mr Knighton saw his own £20m bid for United collapse in 1989. The last change of ownership at Old Trafford was to the Glazers in 2005 for £790m in a takeover that saddled the club with debt that is now around £500m millions of pounds. Fans are furious at the more than £1bn it has cost the Glazers to service the debt while cashing in themselves by taking dividends from the club. The nine years since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure have seen United spend more than £1billion on players, but poor transfer decision-making has kept the club from regaining the Premier League trophy since 2013. The new season started with two defeats, including a 4-0 humiliation at Brentford on Saturday that no member of the Glazer family was in London to witness. Mr Knighton added: “Every businessman in the country, certainly of a certain standard, if they are commercially minded at all, knows that these people will be looking for a way out. “They’re damaging their own brand, they’re damaging their investment, and of course, everything else in the world is being sold at the right price. They’re damaging and devaluing their own holding.” There was no comment Thursday on future ownership by the club, which has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2012.
