According to The Athletic, the letters written by Sheikh Jassim's lawyers complain of “a pattern of demonstrably false and defamatory” statements from Ratcliffe and demand that the club makes “immediate corrective action” to the club’s SEC filings. The lawyers also accuse Ratcliffe of breaching the confidentiality agreement signed by all parties during the sales process by making his comments during his briefing with journalists.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?
Ratcliffe has acted swiftly since INEOS secured its 27 percent stake in United and took control of the club's sporting operations. Omar Berrada has been hired as the new CEO from Manchester City while the club are expected to announce Dan Ashworth as their next sporting director in due course. Jason Wilcox is also reported to be hired as technical director after resigning from Southampton. And soon Ratcliffe and his colleagues must decide whether or not to keep Erik ten Hag as manager, as United's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hang by a thread.
