Several months ago now, INEOS bought 25% of Manchester United. Responsible for the sporting operations of the Manchester club, in place of the Glazer family, who still manage the Manchester team, the British company headed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe intends to invest heavily during this summer transfer window in order to allow Eric ten Hag to have a better season than the 2023-2024 financial year, where the Red Devils had finished eighth in the Premier League and won the FA Cup against Manchester City. The arrival of the company specialising in the oil industry is viewed favourably by Eric Cantona.
” They (INEOS) are working on the foundations of the club today. Things we can’t really see, but it’s important to work on a foundation when you’re building a house. Or if you feel the house is moving a little bit, you restructure the foundation.confided the French legend of Man Utd in an interview with The Athletic. Sometimes we underestimate the importance of chairmen. We talk about players, we talk about managers… but look at Chelsea, since Roman Abramovich left, the club is not the same. It is very important to have someone in charge of the club. The chair of the club is very important. With Jim Ratcliffe, he is the right person to build this foundation. Manchester, in the next few years, we will return to our place. (…) » It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will return to their glorious past.
