#mufc's senior management thought they were far more likely to keep their jobs following a Sheik Jassim takeover than after an INEOS one. Most felt Sir Jim Ratcliffe would quickly install a number of allies in key roles and that they would be gone.

Those on Sheikh Jassim's side believe #mufc have just blown their only chance to narrow the gap on Manchester City.

An offer many thought would render their purchase of the club a formality started on the wrong foot and, as the months dragged on, failed to recover.
