Sir Jim Ratcliffe has increased his stake in Manchester United though the money pumped in won’t be used to help Ruben Amorim in the January transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ratcliffe Increases Manchester United Stake<\/h2>\n

Britain’s richest man paid around \u00a31.2 billion for a 27.7 per cent share of the Red Devils<\/a> back in February.<\/p>\n

That deal with the Glazer Family saw Ratcliffe agree to pump \u00a3237m worth of funding into United.<\/p>\n

Ten months later it has now been revealed that he has increased his stake in the Premier League side.<\/p>\n

A filing listed on the US Securities and Exchange Commission has confirmed the final payment of \u00a379m and a raise in shareholding to 28.94 per cent.<\/p>\n

It also discloses that ownership of those shares has transferred from Ratcliffe to his Ineos company.<\/p>\n

Why \u00a379m Investment Won’t Go Towards January Spending<\/h3>\n

Reports have suggested that the \u00a379m investment won’t go towards Ruben Amorim’s January transfer window kitty.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a> report that the investment has been earmarked for infrastructure but will be used across the club.<\/p>\n

Ineos have carried out a wide range of cost-cutting since their arrival at Manchester United<\/a>. It’s claimed this will allow the cash injection to go to areas of need.<\/p>\n

United aren’t expected to spend much in the January transfer window despite sitting in the bottom-half of the Premier League<\/a> table.<\/p>\n

\"Amorim<\/p>\n

Manchester United’s Turbulent Spell<\/h3>\n

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, despite increasing his stake, has overseen a turbulent spell at Manchester United since originally reaching a deal with the Glazer family.<\/p>\n

Manchester United opted to keep Erik ten Hag after last season’s FA Cup triumph and made \u00a3200m available to him.<\/p>\n

Only to then part ways with him in October, costing the club \u00a315m in compensation.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> was subsequently hired to replace Ten Hag, but the new Red Devils boss will have limited funds for the January transfer window despite Ratcliffe’s injection.<\/p>\n

Under Amorim, Man United have won four games across all competitions, including last weekend’s win over Manchester City.<\/p>\n

There was also the shock departure of sporting director Dan Ashworth<\/a>. This was despite pushing so hard to bring him over from Newcastle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
