Sir Jim Ratcliffe has said Manchester United will need to take "difficult and unpopular decisions" if the club is to restore its place at the top of English and European football.
Ratcliffe acquired a 27.7% stake of United earlier this year and later said he wished to break Manchester City and Liverpool's recent dominance. However, it has proved a difficult year at Old Trafford, with manager Erik ten Hag sacked as the club was on course to place even lower than last season's worst-ever Premier League finish.
