Sir Dave Brailsford ‘steps back from Man Utd' as Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans major reshuffle after disastrous season
SIR DAVE BRAILSFORD is set to step back in his role at Manchester United, according to reports. The move comes as part of a major reshuffle being planned by Ineos head-huncho Sir Jim Ratcliffe. 3 Sir Dave Brailsford is set to step back from his role at Man Utd Credit: Getty 3 It comes as part of a major reshuffle plan from Sir Jim Ratcliffe Credit: PA 3 Brailsford had been working alongside Man Utd chiefs like Jason Wilcox Credit: Getty According to The Times, Brailsford will be reducing his commitment to Man Utd and returning to his role as director of sport for Ineos. Brailsford, famed for his so-called "marginal gains" ideology from cycling, stood down as team principal of Ineos Grenadiers when Ratcliffe purchased his minority stake in the Red Devils. He then took charge of football operations at the club and has been in that role for a year trying to implement change at the club. However, the season has been nothing short of a disaster after Man Utd finish a record-low 15th place and go trophyless after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. Despite this, the 61-year-old has been credited by British billionaire Ratcliffe in overhauling the performance set-up at Man Utd. He was also heavily involved in the £50million redevelopment plan for the club's Carrington training ground and setting the goals outlined in Mission 21 to get both Man Utd men and women winning league titles. The report adds that Geraint Thomas will be taking a senior leadership role at Ineos' professional cycling team when he retires as a rider at the end of this season. Brailsford's step back comes at a time when Ineos is reducing its sporting commitments. Most read in Football THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
