According to Foot Mercato, INEOS CEO Jean Claude Blanc is set to become CEO of Manchester United once Jim Ratcliffe purchases his share in the Premier League club.
Ratcliffe is set to purchase 25% of Manchester United. The OGC Nice owner’s arrival will lead to a reshuffle behind the scenes. Richard Arnold, who has held the CEO post for the past 16 years, is on the way out. Blanc, formerly of Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus before joining INEOS last season, will take his place. Director of Football John Murtough and Director of Footballing Operations David Harrison are also at risk of leaving the Red Devils.
Manchester United held discussions with Michael Edwards
Paul Mitchell, who left AS Monaco in October, is close to becoming Manchester United’s new Sporting Director. Whilst the former Monaco SD is leading the race to take the role, former Liverpool SD Michael Edwards has also held discussions with Manchester United.
