Man United can look forward to better times ahead with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, claims Mercedes chief Toto Wolff... as he insists the billionaire - who is a part owner of the F1 team - 'cuts out the bulls***' and has his 'heart in the right place'

Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has claimed Manchester United fans can look forward to better times ahead with no 'bulls***' under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

British petrochemicals billionaire Ratcliffe, a lifelong United fan, is set to pay £1.4billion to purchase a 25 per cent stake in the club from the Glazer family after a long-winded sale process that began last November.

Ratcliffe and Qatari royal Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani were the front-runners in the bidding war and both parties submitted multiple offers, before Jassim withdrew from the process last week.
