Even though INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have taken over the sporting side of Manchester United’s operations, the club’s main shareholding remains under the control of Joel and Avram Glazer. That’s why any movement around the club draws fans’ attention — especially on the eve of the derby.
Reports say the club’s co-owners, who are usually rarely seen in public, have arrived in Manchester right before Michael Carrick’s debut. According to talkSPORT, the sons of Malcolm Glazer, who bought Manchester United in 2005, reached the city ahead of the clash with Manchester City.
The source stresses that this visit is not a coincidence. The Glazers’ trip to Manchester could be directly linked to the organisational issues Ratcliffe and his team are facing, the club’s internal roadmap and its future strategy.
They are said to be attending a special meeting. A close conversation with the new head coach is expected, along with discussions about Ratcliffe’s management model and the club’s long-term plans. In short, this isn’t a simple “drop-in” — major decisions are in the air.
Of course, it remains unclear how such meetings might affect the Red Devils’ fortunes this season. However, high-level activity like this ahead of the derby may indicate that something significant is being reconsidered inside the club.
Reminder: the Manchester derby kicks off tomorrow at 17:30. Fans will be watching not only the result on the pitch, but also which internal decisions will shape United’s future direction.
