Manchester United owners Glazer family reportedly dissatisfied with Jim Ratcliffe
Internal tensions are rising at Manchester United as the Glazer family, the club's majority shareholders, reportedly express deep dissatisfaction with the sporting management led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his group, INEOS.
Following a difficult start to the 2026/27 season, the club has struggled significantly, securing only seven points from its first eight Premier League matches and sitting in 16th place. The team has also faced setbacks in the Champions League, suffering recent defeats against Atletico Madrid and Como.
Reports suggest the Glazers are critical of the organizational changes and cost-cutting measures implemented by Ratcliffe, with some questioning if these decisions have weakened the club. While there has been no official announcement of a split, the club faces mounting pressure regarding the performance of manager Michael Carrick and executives including football director Jason Wilcox and CEO Omar Berrada.
