Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has come under fire for one of the bigger footballing decisions he has had to make to date

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos will successfully turn around Man Utd – Ben Ainslie - Ainslie’s partnership with Ratcliffe has led a Great Britain team to the America’s Cup for the first time in 60 years.

Forget Erik ten Hag. Forget the Glazers. Forget the expensive signings. And forget the previous years of underperformance. If Manchester United fail to massively improve this season, the ultimate responsibility lies with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos.
