Ineos Takes Control of Man United’s Football Operations in £1.3bn Deal, Urges Restoring Former Glories, UK

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, the new owners of Manchester United, recently visited the club’s Carrington training ground as they begin their work following their £1.3 billion investment. Ratcliffe, the owner of Ineos, acquired a 25% stake in the club’s football operations. During their visit, they met with manager Erik ten Hag, as well as players from both the men’s and women’s teams. The Ineos bosses also held meetings with the wider club workforce and emphasized their goal of returning United to their former glory under Sir Alex Ferguson. The deal is still pending approval from the Premier League, but the Ineos team is already making efforts to understand the performance challenges and help the club regain its position at the top of English, European, and world football. The visit was focused on providing reassurance to the club’s non-playing staff, while Ten Hag continues to operate in the dressing room. Despite United’s recent poor results in various competitions, the new owners remain optimistic and are eager to collaborate with the team to implement their strategies for success.
