The changes in Manchester United’s football operations are gathering pace after a report emerged that Sir Dave Brailsford has left his role as team principal of the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team.
Brailsford was handed a place on the Red Devils board following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s acquisition of 29 per cent of the club in December and is conducting an audit of the football operations and personnel as Ratcliffe looks to turn around the club’s fortunes on the pitch.
