Sir Jim Ratcliffe gets billboard erected reading 'Welcome to Manchester' reminiscent of Carlos Tevez's infamous transfer to Man City ahead of the billionaire's investment in Man United

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's imminent investment in Manchester United hasn't been confirmed yet, but the British billionaire is already welcoming fans to the city after appearing on an advertising board.

Ratcliffe is still waiting to have his £1.3billion investment in the 13-time Premier League champions signed off and optimistic supporters have given him their seal of approval.

Manchester's sporting relationship with advertising boards is well known to both United and Man City, with Carlos Tevez once antagonising Old Trafford after joining City.

Man City unveiled Tevez as their newest high-profile recruit of the Abu Dhabi spending revolution by plastering an advertising board with a picture of the Argentinian alongside the words 'welcome to Manchester'.
