Sir Jim Ratcliffe has acquired 25 per cent of Manchester United and taken control of football operations and the Soccer Saturday panel discussed what this will mean for the club.

An announcement finally came on Christmas Eve, bringing an end to 13 months of talks about a potential takeover of the Old Trafford club.

Ratcliffe is acquiring the interest for $33-a-share (£26) in a deal that "will include all aspects of the men's and women's football operations and academies" for his INEOS group, a statement said.
