WHAT HAPPENED?
Ratcliffe's company INEOS completed their partial takeover of United on Christmas Eve, but the knight of the realm had yet to be seen watching the Red Devils in person. That changed on Sunday, as he was pictured in the crowd, sat next to legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, as United hosted Tottenham. The Red Devils' all-time record goalscorer Wayne Rooney was also in the crowd, for the first time since his sacking as Birmingham City boss.
