Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to finalise his 25 per cent minority takeover at Manchester United as plans for the future at Old Trafford and beyond start to take shape.
Over a year since the much-maligned Glazer family announced a strategic review to their ownership, the Premier League giants are ready to be pushed in a different direction.
However, for the time being at least, the Americans are here to stay and Sir Jim will, initially, work alongside them. Investment from the INEOS founder is thought to be worth £1.25billion and his impending arrival will be followed up by further key appointments behind the scenes.
