INEOS confident new Red Devil will avoid punishment after Old Trafford summer arrival

Manchester United executives are reportedly confident that the new CEO, Omar Berrada, will avoid any possible sanctions in the Manchester City 115 charges case with the Premier League.

One of the first appointments made in the new INEOS era was a new Chief Executive after Richard Arnold announced he would be leaving.

Omar Berrada’s arrival at Old Trafford was seen as a real coup for INEOS with Berrada having a strong reputation in the game.

He previously played a big part in Manchester City’s growth and was heavily involved in managing the multi-club structure of the City group.

Berrada has recently stated he has ambitions of making Manchester United Premier League champions by 2028.

Berrada also hired his former Manchester City colleague Jason Wilcox to be part of the new INEOS-led hierarchy at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are reportedly confident that both former Manchester City employees will not get caught up in any punishment should the Premier League be able to charge the current Premier League champions.

The Mirror states: “Berrada, who started his new role at United in July, was the only witness to be called to give evidence on behalf of City earlier this week at the employment tribunal into the defender Benjamin Mendy’s claim for £11million in unpaid wages.

“That raises the prospect of Berrada also being called to give evidence in the Premier League’s case against City.

“United are confident Berrada will not be implicated in the ongoing case involving his former employers and are satisfied he was not involved in any wrongdoing during his time at City.”
