The fa🐓mous English football club have endured a torrid season and currently languish 14th in the 2024-2025 Premier League table with six games remaining.

Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is a minority shareholder in Manchester United and could🎃 use his p﷽art-ownership of the Mercedes F1 team through his Ineos company to his benefit, according to .

Michael Sansoni, an engineer at the Mercede🦂s F1 team, 🎃has been earmarked as a potential option to join Manchester United.

Sansoni is due to leave Mercedes at the end of the year and Ratcliffe is reportedly keen on bringing him on༺boa𒉰rd at Manchester United.

BBC Sport add that “no deal has been agreed yꦏet but Ineos is a part-owner in the Mercedes F1 team, which should smooth the process.”

Ineos own 33 percent of Merc𒊎edes F1 as part of a deal which began in 2019.

One of Ratcliffe’s main targets is to improve Manchester United’s data analysis, whi𝄹ch he described as being “still in the last century”.

Manches꧅ter United’s biggest criticism in recent years has been their recruitment, having spent over 𝔍£900m on new players since 2019.
