Ineos and Ratcliffe's Influence at Manchester United to Broaden Beyond Football Operations

Former Manchester City COO Omar Berrada appointed as United’s chief executive in a move signaling the start of the INEOS era at Old Trafford.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team's influence at Manchester United is set to significantly widen, with the Glazers agreeing that Ineos should have a broader influence encompassing key decisions across the business.
Manchester City’s former chief operating officer Omar Berrada has been appointed as United’s chief executive, a move that has been broadly welcomed by staff.
United’s American owners and Ineos have resolved that Ratcliffe and his team should also have input on wider business decisions given how they have the potential to impact on football operations.
United employees were informed at an all-staff meeting that the transition into the INEOS era at Old Trafford is about far more than simply taking control of football operations.
Ratcliffe’s team will also liaise with the Glazers on business decisions as they, by definition, will impact the potential of football operations.
