Ratcliffe and his INEOS delegation have been described as impressive and sophisticated in their approach, having visited the club for six hours last Friday.
Ratcliffe says he will not pay a "stupid" price for United but his interest in the club would be "purely in winning things", calling the club a "community asset".
It was previously understood the Qatari bidders were determined not to pay over the odds for the club but that stance has softened in recent days, coinciding with a delegation's visit to Old Trafford.
