Sir Jim Ratcliffe hoping unwanted Manchester United record ends against Arsenal

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be at Old Trafford to watch Manchester United take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

It marks the fifth time the co-owner will have attended a men’s first-team match since his investment in the club was ratified earlier in the year.

Ratcliffe will be hoping he finally sees United record a win having not seen his side record a victory in normal time during those matches. The first match he saw was the 2-2 draw with Tottenham in the Premier League, followed by the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea and the 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Ratcliffe only saw the second-half of the FA Cup semi-final clash with Coventry City in which Erik ten Hag’s side threw away a three-goal lead and prevailed in the penalty shootout.

It means United will have split representation on Sunday afternoon, with Avram Glazer set to attend the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley as United Women look to life the trophy for the first time in their history.

While Ratcliffe will be watching the men's team at Old Trafford, it is understood there will also be several senior representatives from the Ineos Group at Wembley as well.

Ratcliffe’s latest visit to Manchester comes at a time when there is still uncertainty over the future of first-team manager Ten Hag, with club sources insisting a decision is yet to be made on the managerial situation.
