MIKEEGAN: This is an example of the complexity of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's and INEOS's challenge as they seek to restructure Manchester United's football team and return the club to the top. The main responsibility for making sure that there are enough paperclips at Carrington, that the Under 12s have a minibus to take them to their next game, and that hotels have been booked for an away match rests on John Murtough.

CHRIS WHEELER: Erik ten Hag has celebrated the appointment of new Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada, saying that it is part of the company's process of raising the barcodes. Berrada's move from Manchester City is a coup for new part-owner Ineos, as shown by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision to place football first at the club after years of commercial development but not so much success on the field. With Patrick Stewart's successor as interim CEO, the 46-year-old executive won't be able to begin his new role until the summer, but Ten Hag claims it has already lifted the mood inside United.

MIKE KEEGAN: Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team's influence will go beyond football operations, according to Manchester United staff. When the petrochemicals billionaire decided to purchase a 55% interest in the club, it was announced that his group would solely handle matters on the field at Old Trafford. However, interim chief executive Patrick Stewart said on a group call with staff on Wednesday that such an arrangement is impractical and that a larger scope will be drawn because of the undeniable link between United's commercial and sporting activities.

Manchester United's Al-Nassr is gearing up for a daring bid for Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as Manchester United prepares to offload some of their top-earning employees. Last month, Mail Sport announced that United's football director John Murtough went to Riyadh to look at potential contracts for a number of players who are not available for transfer. Casemiro is the top earner on £375,000-a-week, but the Brazilian has 32 years to play next month and hasn't played since November due to a hamstring injury. United is open to selling him this summer if they can recover a part of the £70 million fee paid to Real Madrid last year.

In a statement announcing the appointment of Omar Berrada as the club's new CEO, Manchester United have reiterated their desire to'put football and results on the field' at the center of their operations. The major coup, the first of the Ratcliffe-INEOS period, sees the exoner of Manchester City as the company's first executive step. Berrada's arrival was prompted by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS crew, who have agreed a 25 percent stake in the club and took over football operations, according to Mail Sport.

Fans will now be able to dream of a new age as Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the current owner of Manchester United, ratifies his 25 percent purchase for £1.3 billion.

Despite the fact that Dan Ashworth will be fired as United's football director after Sir Jim Ratcliffe moves into Old Trafford, John Murtough has been meeting this week over January transfer talks. Ashworth is in a similar situation at Newcastle but has links to INEOS sports director Sir Dave Brailsford and is said to be highly rated by the Ratcliffe team as they plan to complete a £1.25 billion investment in United. However, if the agreement is not announced this week, it is likely to be post Christmas and then there will be a further delay of six to eight weeks before it is ratified.

Jose Mourinho has told Manchester United that even now, he has revealed that many players and staff have left the club.

Richard Arnold, the Red Devils' chief, has been dubbed a 'amazing person' by Jose Mourinho ahead of his departure from Old Trafford this month.

Patrick Stewart, United's top lawyer, is taking over the role on an interim basis with Ineos Sport chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc, who is seen as a potential permanent replacement.

Brailsford, the team's director of sport, and CEO Blanc are likely to play significant roles once the minority interest has been confirmed.

CONFIDENTIAL MAN Richard Arnold jumped before being asked at Manchester United, but football manager John Murtough is keen to work within the new framework as Ineos move to Old Trafford next week. Sir Jim Ratcliffe's £1.25 billion investment will be revealed in a matter of days, clearing the way for the petrochemicals tycoon and his right-hand man Sir Dave Brailsford to take over football affairs at United until it is officially confirmed next month. Ratcliffe did not order Arnold to leave, but the United CEO knew the writing was on the wall and decided to declare his resignation on his own terms before the year's end, with Patrick Stewart to take over on an interim basis.

A year is a long time in football, and it seems even longer if Manchester United are worried. The Glazers' first anniversary of announcing that they would wait for bids, effectively ending the firing of the starting pistol on a transaction process that may result in their eventual departure from Old Trafford.

Ratcliffe will consult Ferguson, 81, for help and guidance as he plans a massive overhaul of the football side, according to the Daily Telegraph.

As far as testimonies go, Jean-Claude Blanc's words are more flattering than Nice CEO Fabrice Boquet's words. He resembles Lionel Messi of sports,' he told L'Equipe. It's not limited to knowledge, but also to interpersonal skills.' He shares his vision, his network, his calm, and his knowledge.' 'Stoic' is a word that refers to Blanc (pictured right with wife Stephanie and inset with Sir Jim Ratcliffe), a character that can be viewed as 'deferential,' but it is one that has a track record of inheriting tumultuous situations and delivering greatness.
