Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has left the door open to joining Sir Jim Ratcliffe investing in English football giants Manchester United, but says any deal is “very far away.”
The 71-year-old also owns a third of the Mercedes F1 team, with Ratcliffe’s existing professional relationship with Wolff sparking suggestions that the Austrian may also be open to being involved with Man Utd.Wolff, whose own personal fortune reportedly hit the $1bn mark earlier this year, was asked about the speculation during Sky F1’s coverage of practice at this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix – and the 51-year-old hinted he would be open to it.
“I said: ‘He’s such a clever person, if I could contribute I’d have a chat’ – but no, that’s very far away.” Wolff went on to claim he is no fan of a particular Premier League club, but expressed his admiration of the manager of Manchester United’s closest rivals, Man City boss Pep Guardiola, who has attended a number of grands prix as a guest of Mercedes over the last 12 months.
