Ratcliffe’s Potential Start Date Revealed Amid Man United Take Over

The possible start date for Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Manchester United has been made public, as three football executives facing the sack.

The rich Englishman is about to pay £1.4 billion to acquire a 25% share in United, with the intention of taking over football operations. Alan Nixon claims that the head of Ineos may begin his new position on Monday and may take the initiative to start a tactical makeover of the team.

Amidst poor results under Erik ten Hag, Ratcliffe is swiftly moving to initiate change. INEOS director of sports Sir Dave Brailsford will lead Ratcliffe’s team, who will have the diktat to take a call on the fate of Ten Hag and even football director John Murtough’s position will be under the scanner.

Brailsford has achieved immense success in cycling as he led Great Britain to 18 golds at the 2004, 2008, and 2012 Olympics. He had also masterminded the success of the Team Sky/INEOS Grenadiers cycling team which won the Tour de France six times.

Ratcliffe’s emphasis on transfers and his doubts about high-profile purchases like Antony and Sancho contribute another level to the club’s hierarchy reorganisation. There appears to be more of a reorganisation within the United think tank given the unclear future of CEO Richard Arnold and other decision-makers.

On Saturday, United will return to Old Trafford for a Premier League match against Luton Town.
