Sir Dave Brailsford, one of Britain's most influential sporting figures, helped Aaron Ramsey revive his Nice career... and he could be part of Manchester United's board very soon.
That is because Brailsford is INEOS' director of sport. It is believed the former head of British Cycling visited Old Trafford with Sir Jim Ratcliffe when the INEOS chief met United's CEO Richard Arnold and Erik ten Hag to discuss a possible takeover from the Glazers
Ratcliffe wants to buy United but faces competition from Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and other parties. Brailsford is viewed as Ratcliffe's 'right-hand man' when it comes to sport and will surely have a say at Old Trafford if their bid is successful.
