In anticipation of final Premier League approval for his acquisition of a 25% stake in Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has closely monitored the team’s performance.
INEOS associate Sir Dave Brailsford, a key figure in the process, is already attending games and will join the new board of directors after the deal’s formal completion.
Ben Jacobs reports that Ratcliffe is set to make his inaugural appearance at Old Trafford this Sunday, coinciding with a crucial match against Tottenham.
Currently placed ninth in the Premier League, United trails behind Chelsea on goal difference and is eight points adrift of Tottenham, who holds fifth place and stands to move into the top four with a victory this weekend.
In the upcoming weeks, Ratcliffe is anticipated to address the public, generating enthusiasm among fans eager to hear from the figure set to oversee football affairs at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag, the current United manager, recently lauded Ratcliffe and his vision for the club, expressing optimism: “It is truly inspiring.
While there’s significant work ahead and we’ve faced setbacks, we were on a positive trajectory in the summer.
It’s a journey, a project, and despite challenges, we’ll persevere, endure, and come back stronger.”
