Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of Manchester United and head of INEOS, has outlined ambitious plans for the club, including potentially moving away from Old Trafford and building a new stadium, referred to as the £2billion 'Wembley of the North'. Ratcliffe has expressed a desire for public funding to contribute to the project, highlighting a need for discussions with the government about the regeneration of the wider area. His comments have sparked debate, with some critics arguing that public money should not be used for a private enterprise. Ratcliffe's vision for Manchester United also includes knocking rivals Liverpool and Manchester City off their pedestals, emphasizing competition and the need for improvement. Additionally, Ratcliffe's involvement in sports extends beyond football, as his Ineos group unveiled a new 4x4 vehicle, indicating a broad interest in sports and technology. Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, mentioned that the new ownership does not add pressure but aligns with the club's ambitions.
