Sir Jim Ratcliffe has 'big plans' for Manchester United, but he must overcome a mountain of issues to bring back the glory days

His £1.3billion deal for 25 per cent of Manchester United – which will see him take control of football operations - has been announced by the club.

Part of what has lured Monaco-based Ratcliffe back to Greater Manchester is the prospect of assuming control of United’s footballing matters.

He will seek advice from legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, while Erik Ten Hag’s role is expected to change, according to the Evening Standard.
