British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has written an open letter to Manchester United fans, asking for "time and patience" to "bring sporting success" back to the club, following his investment at Old Trafford.
Ratcliffe, chairman of chemical company INEOS, has agreed to buy a 25% stake in the club for around £1 billion ($1.3bn). The Ineos Group, which he founded in 1998, will take control of football operations and Ratcliffe will also provide £236 million ($300m) for future investment into Manchester United's stadium.
