    Richard Arnold is reportedly set to leave his role as Manchester United chief executive – and a temporary replacement has already been found. <\/p>\n

    The Athletic have reported that Patrick Stewart will take on the role on an interim basis less than two years after Arnold was picked to replace Ed Woodward back in February of 2022. The change is set to happen at the end of the year, after Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes charge.<\/p>\n

    Ratcliffe is set to take up a 25% stake in the club with an investment in the region of \u00a31.3billion, which will also see him take sporting control with the Glazer family still the majority owners.<\/p>\n

    Ten Hag has now moved on from the situation as he tries to turn around United's season, with the Old Trafford outfit now the form side in the top-flight with four wins from five before the international break.<\/p>\n
