Last month, Sir Jim Ratcliffe traveled to Manchester United’s Carrington Training Ground by helicopter, which may sound impressive, but in reality, he opted for a more modest mode of transport.
Sir Jim’s private jet flew to Manchester Airport, after which he was taken to United’s headquarters—almost certainly in a vehicle from HR Carriages, the taxi firm regularly used by the club.
During Sir Alex Ferguson’s tenure as Man Utd manager, he occasionally took a helicopter from Carrington, usually to attend matches.
The billionaire once booked out a hotel on Alphonse Island for a week, just so he and his team could enjoy fishing exclusively on the Seychelles island.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has returned to Manchester and attended a Salford City match in midweek, accompanied by former teammates Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
Solskjaer’s youngest son, Elijah, went with him to Peninsula Stadium.
Since leaving Man Utd in 2010, Solskjaer has kept his property in Cheshire, and he also met with former Man Utd midfielder Nicky Butt last week.
Meanwhile, this week, Mason Mount was spotted playing golf with an English rugby legend in Surrey.
The Man Utd star posted a video of himself “putting” on the 400-acre estate of Foxhills Country Club & Resort.
On Thursday, the 26-year-old Mount attended an event with Saracens half-back Owen Farrell and football presenter Michael Timpson.
The trio were supporting a fundraising event hosted by Pitch London, an indoor golf company based in Canary Wharf.
Mount scored his first Premier League goal for Man Utd in the match against Sunderland at Old Trafford last Saturday. He is gradually adapting to Man Utd’s style and hopes to return to the England national team.
Like Rúben Amorim, Three Lions manager Thomas Tuchel is also a big fan of Mount—Mount played a key role under the German coach at Chelsea.
