From the source

Manchester United can only move forward once there is a clean slate and a full sale. The desperately poor results on the pitch in 2026/27 have highlighted the poor decision-making behind the scenes at Manchester United.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos are rightly drawing flak for the botched summer transfer window, while successive managerial appointments are under scrutiny. Executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox appear to be out of their depth.

And lurking in the background, as they have been ever since their leveraged buyout of the club, the Glazers are the constant that ties the pre-Ineos and post-Ineos eras together.
