Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the 73-year-old founder of Ineos chemicals, has revealed that his controversial decisions at Manchester United have made him "very unpopular" among fans and stakeholders. However, he believes these changes are now paying off, as the club has climbed back into the Champions League spots under interim boss Michael Carrick. Ratcliffe's bold moves, including sacking two managers and making a string of cuts, have been met with resistance, but he remains confident in his strategy. He told Sky News, "I've seen quite a bit of this at the football club. If you do difficult things, you become very unpopular for a while, but it's for the better in my view. And I think we're beginning to see some evidence that these changes are paying off." On the pitch, Manchester United's resilience was showcased by Benjamin Sesko, who scored a stunning volley in the 96th minute to secure a 1-1 draw against West Ham. Sesko's performance highlights the team's determination to fight for a Champions League spot, despite the challenges they face.
