Manchester United take on Aston Villa in first Premier League game since Sir Jim Ratcliffe's partial takeover
The game will kick off at 8pm tonight at Old Trafford.
Manchester United face Aston Villa in their first Premier League game since it was confirmed Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos group has agreed to buy 25% of the club.
They announced on Christmas Eve that the chairman of INEOS, had entered into an agreement, which is "subject to customary regulatory approvals".
The agreement will see him invest over £236 million to refurbish the club's infrastructure and he has also made a "promise" to fans to put United "back where we belong".
Ratcliffe said: "As a local boy and a lifelong supporter of the club, I am very pleased that we have been able to agree a deal with the Manchester United board that delegates us management responsibility of the football operations of the club.
"Whilst the commercial success of the club has ensured there have always been available funds to win trophies at the highest level, this potential has not been fully unlocked in recent times.
"We will bring the global knowledge, expertise and talent from the wider INEOS Sport group to help drive further improvement at the club, while also providing funds intended to enable future investment into Old Trafford.
"We are here for the long term and recognise that a lot of challenges and hard work lie ahead, which we will approach with rigour, professionalism and passion.
"We are committed to working with everyone at the club - the board, staff, players and fans - to help drive the club forward.
"Our shared ambition is clear: we all want to see Manchester United back where we belong, at the very top of English, European and world football."
Manchester United will take on Aston Villa at 8pm tonight (Boxing Day) at the Old Trafford stadium.
