How rich is the billionaire who wants to buy MU?

Jim Ratcliffe, the billionaire who wants to buy MU from the Glazer family, is the richest man in England with a fortune of up to 13 billion pounds.

According to the Sunday Times in 2021, Ratcliffe's personal fortune is worth around £6.3 billion. Including his business, his assets are worth up to £13 billion. This figure makes Ratcliffe the richest person in Britain.

Ratcliffe made his fortune from the successful business of the multinational chemical company Ineos. He was one of the founding members of this company in 1998. Originally a chemical engineer, he helped turn it into the 4th largest chemical company in the world. In addition, he was also successful in a number of other fields such as finance and industry.

Thanks to his huge fortune, Ratcliffe has been able to indulge his passion for sports. He bought the professional cycling team Ineos Grenadiers. In addition, he has invested in the Sir Ben Ainslie yacht racing team and the famous Mercedes F1 racing team.

In football, Ratcliffe bought Swiss club Lausanne in 2017. In 2019, he invested £91 million in Nice (France). He is a big Manchester United fan and once intended to buy the Old Trafford club.

In addition to MU, this billionaire also loves Chelsea and has a season ticket to the London team. After Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea, Ratcliffe was one of the people who wanted to buy the team but in the end, the winner belonged to Todd Boehly, an American billionaire.

Ratcliffe owns many assets, including a 79m superyacht named Hampshire II worth 130 million pounds.

Currently, MU is valued at about 5 billion pounds. British press reported that under pressure from fans, the Glazer family is considering selling some of MU's shares to raise new investment. Ratcliffe immediately took action. This businessman wants to have full control of the red shirt team of Manchester in the future.

Man City finalizes Bernardo Silva's future

Man City will not sell midfielder Bernardo Silva after receiving no offers from Barcelona.

Man City never wanted to sell Silva in the summer of 2022. However, coach Pep Guardiola made it clear at the beginning of the summer that Man City would not keep any player if that player no longer wanted to contribute to the club. These statements appeared after Barca were said to be interested in recruiting Silva.

From the beginning, Man City was steadfast in only accepting to sell Silva if they received around 100 million euros. So far, Barca has not sent any offer to buy the Portuguese midfielder, so Man City believes that the remaining time is too short to complete the deal. In less than half a month, the 2022 summer transfer window will close.

"I'm open with Man City and they know what I want. This is a big club and they always want players to be happy at the club. They always told all of us that if you're not happy here, you can leave," Silva told ESPN.

Silva joined Man City from Monaco in 2017 for 50 million euros. To date, he has made 253 appearances for Man City in all competitions, contributing 48 goals and 50 assists. The 28-year-old midfielder has been one of the main contributors to Man City's success in recent years.

As for Barca, they are still heavily in debt, so they have recently had to sell assets as an economic lever to be able to cover expenses as well as register new recruits in the summer of 2022. With Man City asking 100 million euros for Silva, this is clearly beyond Barca's ability.

Hanoi FC to debut new Brazilian player in match against Binh Duong?

Due to the suspension of striker Siladi Vladimir, Hanoi FC will likely debut new player Lucas Vinicius Goncalves Silva in the match against Binh Duong. After a 2-1 victory over Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Hanoi FC won the V-League 2022 first leg, when they were 6 points ahead of Song Lam Nghe An, the team behind. According to the schedule in round 13, the home team Hang Day will travel to Go Dau Stadium to compete with Binh Duong.

Binh Duong is currently in very good form after 2 consecutive wins under coach Lu Dinh Tuan. Therefore,Hanoi FCis expected to face many difficulties in this away trip.

Lucas Vinicius Goncalves Silva could be on the field in the match against Binh Duong.

In particular, in the match against Binh Duong, Hanoi FC will not have the service of Siladi Vladimir due to suspension. Siladi Vladimir is the best striker of Hanoi FC in V-League 2022, so this absence will definitely affect the attack of the capital team.

Siladi Vladimir is absent, so it is not impossible that Hanoi FC will introduce new player Lucas Vinicius Goncalves Silva in the match against Binh Duong. Lucas Vinicius Goncalves Silva has just joined Hanoi FC in phase 2, but has not played any match yet.

U20 Vietnam strengthens forces before rematch with Indonesia

After returning from Japan on August 26, U20 Vietnam will have a series of personnel additions before participating in the 2023 U20 Asia qualifiers.

Coach Dinh The Nam and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) are trying to convince teams in the First Division and V-League to release their players before the team leaves for Indonesia to participate in the U20 Asian qualifiers. Mr. Nam hopes to add 10-11 players when they start training in Hanoi.

The list that Mr. Nam gave has many players from big teams such as Song Lam Nghe An, Da Nang Club or Binh Duong Club. Phi Hoang (Da Nang Club), Bui Vi Hao (Binh Duong Club) or Dinh Xuan Tien, Ho Van Cuong (Song Lam Nghe An) are the names being targeted. This is understandable because this group of players often play and play impressively in V-League 2022.

In addition, 6-7 players from First Division teams will be called up by coach Dinh The Nam if these teams agree to let their players join the national team. Hieu Minh and Ngoc Son (Pho Hien Club) are of particular interest to this coach. This is an important addition to the defense, which has been considered a weak point of U20 Vietnam in recent tournaments.

U19 Vietnam will be supplemented with personnel.

However, the call-up of players still depends on the actual plan of the host club and the development of the upcoming season. VFF cannot require the team to let players join the training camp in the situation where the tournament is not in the FIFA Days time frame.

According to the plan, U20 Vietnam will train in Hanoi for about 2 weeks before leaving for Indonesia to participate in the 2023 U20 Asian qualifiers. There will be 44 teams participating in this qualifier and divided into 10 groups. The tournament regulations stipulate that the 10 group winners, 5 best second-placed teams and the host country Uzbekistan will qualify for the 2023 U20 Asian finals.

U20 Vietnam is in group F with U20 Indonesia, U20 Timor Leste and U20 Hong Kong. These opponents are considered to be on par with U20 Vietnam. Coach Dinh The Nam and his team will face a lot of pressure from the home crowd in the upcoming matches.
