Upon his first visit to Old Trafford, since his minority share takeover was made public, SIR Jim Ratcliffe promised to acclimate to the rain in Manchester. 

Before leaving Old Trafford, the wealthy industrialist spoke with executives for two hours. 

For the first time since taking over, Sir Jim Ratcliffe visited Old Trafford.

The millionaire businessman was at Old Trafford for two hours.

Ratcliffe was ecstatic with his visit to the Theatre of Dreams.

However, he will need to adjust to the torrential rain.

He laughed and replied, “I’ll have to get used to it,” when asked about the intense rain after being greeted and asked how it was going.

With a smile on his face, Ratcliffe entered the main entrance, shielded from the Manchester rain by a security guard holding an umbrella.

After reaching an agreement on Christmas Eve to acquire a 25% stake in the team and assume command of football operations, the CEO of Ineos met with important United employees, such as interim CEO Patrick Stewart and Chief Operating Officer Collette Roche.

The group, which did not include any Glazer family members, had a working lunch and talked about some early concepts to turn United’s playing results around.

Until the agreement is approved next month, Sir Jim and his Ineos group are not permitted to take an active part in managing United.

The New York Stock Exchange has approved his purchase of Class-A shares, and he must first clear the fit and proper person test administered by the Premier League.

However, on Wednesday, Ratcliffe’s team will resume meetings at United’s Carrington training site, where he might have a meeting with Erik ten Hag, the fire manager.

Ten Hag and Sir Dave Brailsford, Ratcliffe’s right-hand man and the sporting director of the chemical giant Ineos, met on Sunday at Carrington.

Brailsford was shown around Carrington by football director John Murtough and temporary chief executive Patrick Stewart, who accompanied Brailsford to witness United’s previous two games from the stands.

Jean-Claude Blanc, the chief executive of Ineos, is anticipated to succeed him as United’s CEO, and Brailsford may choose a new football director.

However, roles for Stewart and Murtaugh are still anticipated under the revised configuration.

However, Ten Hag’s future is still uncertain since Ratcliffe has lined up Graham Potter, the former Chelsea manager, as a replacement, according to SunSport.

United has only won once in their last five games, placing them eighth in the league.

However, Ten Hag did come out at the end of December to demand that United’s new ownership give him a chance.

“We will have the conversations, the meetings, we will see. They want to work with me, and I want to work with them,” he remarked.

The Dutchman and his family were recently photographed celebrating New Year’s Eve in Barcelona.

But he hopes to be back in time for crucial negotiations with his new employer.

Erik ten Hag and Ratcliffe are scheduled to speak.

On Christmas Eve, Ratcliffe’s 25% takeover was validated.

Ratcliffe arrived in Manchester at 3 p.m. after traveling there in a private plane.

Ratcliffe arrived at the Theatre of Dreams beaming with joy.

When the chemical engineer billionaire arrived, he was welcomed.
