It's wonderful that you have this optimism for Ratcliffe and through that you're applying a twisted psychoanalysis of his reasonings and desires but they're misguided, I'm afraid.
Dominic O'Connell, editor of business times radio, who co-authored Ratcliffe's autobiography and is a long time friend of his has publicly stated otherwise:
"I spoke to him about it a few times, although last time about 4-5 months ago now and he's extremely keen to get a hold of Manchester United. The other thing about Jim Ratcliffe is A) he doesn't like losing and B) he doesn't like doing business without the sense of not getting any gain at the end of it. So his view of Man Utd, as he's expressed to me, and he's expressed this publicly so it's hardly any revelation, he's sees it (Man Utd) as one of the few clubs in the world that can cover its day to day operating costs from its own revenue - merchandise, tickets sales and that sort of stuff and then if you invest on top of that you should do well over the long term but, it will not be a continual drain on his coffers. That's his view and that in 10 years time, 20 years time when it comes to the next stage in the ownership of Manchester United he will make a profit - he's not in this to lose money."
