Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS to launch surprise new plan to raise money for Man United | OneFootball

Manchester United have reportedly made a decision on a new surprise way to raise money for the club.

United’s financial issues

United’s financial woes are well-known, with the club walking a tightrope with regard to the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Since he assumed operational control of United in February last year, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has embarked on a ruthless campaign to drive down costs and raise income from the club in a bid to ensure there is sufficient money in place to spend on strengthening the first team.

A number of Ratcliffe’s decisions have been unpopular, including making hundreds of staff redundant, cancelling Sir Alex Ferguson’s ambassadorial contract and hiking ticket prices.

In March, Ratcliffe told the media that United would have gone bust by the turn of the year if he had not invested in the club and implemented the necessary changes.

The INEOS billionaire has been adamant that his objective is to return the Red Devils to profitability and now, according to The Sun’s Samuel Luckhurst, United are offering their fans the chance to tour the new and revamped Carrington training complex for a fee.

Luckhurst reveals that United are opening Carrington’s doors to fans, who can tour the facility for £100.

As part of a new Old Trafford tour option, fans can be transported by coach to Carrington, where they will get the chance to have a glimpse of where Ruben Amorim and his players prepare for games.

Luckhurst points out, “Supporters have been offered a four-hour-long experience that includes a look around the new £50million hub, which opened in August.”

“United fans can enter the dressing room, gym, recovery areas and press conference room, as well as the players’ lounge.”

“However, visitors will not be permitted to take photos of United’s inner sanctum at the training ground.”

The tours are set to begin in June 2026 when the World Cup commences.
