While he is already trying to make substantial savings, whether in Nice or Manchester United, the two clubs he owns, Jim Radcliffe has been rather far from being happy in business for some time. Indeed, according to the Daily Mailthe founder of the Ineos petrochemical industry giant has lost almost 8 billion euros since entering Manchester United in January 2024, and continues to lose money.

The billionaire occupies seventh place in the list of richest men in England this year, after being classified fourth in 2024 with an estimated fortune around 30 billion euros. This season, he therefore took controversial measures on the side of Old Trafford to save money, going so far as to revoke many contracts, including that of the legend of the club, Sir Alex Ferguson.
