Sir Dave Brailsford’s new direction in Man Utd shakeup

  • Sir Dave Brailsford will reduce his day-to-day involvement with Manchester United to focus on his role as Ineos’ director of sport, though he will remain a director at United.
  • Brailsford, a long-time ally of co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has been instrumental in the overhaul at Old Trafford since Ratcliffe took a stake in the club.
  • Manchester United believes it now has a new leadership structure, including Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox, and Marc Armstrong, to lead the club forward after Brailsford oversaw a transitional phase, including revamping the Carrington training ground.
  • Brailsford, former performance director of British Cycling, aimed to help Man Utd to their 21st league title, but the team finished 15th, their lowest in 50 years, and failed to qualify for Europe.
  • During Brailsford’s tenure, several high-ranking figures have departed from Old Trafford, including John Murtough, Dan Ashworth, Patrick Stewart, and Cliff Baty.
