Ratcliffe's right-hand man in attendance at Old Trafford for Man Utd vs Villa
Sir Dave Brailsford, the director of sport for Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS group was spotted at Old Trafford during Manchester United's clash with Aston Villa.
Ratcliffe is not in attendance for the clash, but former United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar could be seen watching on as Erik ten Hag's team attempted to secure a first Premier League win since December 6.
Ratcliffe's deal to purchase a minority stake in the club was confirmed on Sunday, with the 72-year-old becoming a minority owner of the club with a 25% stake.
United's official announcement confirmed Ratcliffe would take over football operations at the club once the deal has been ratified by the Premier League, a process that could take between six and eight weeks.
The announcement was met with delight by some United fans on social media, though others insisted they would reserve judgement until the Glazers have departed the club.
