Is gambling legal in Philippines?

Call it a belated birthday present, perhaps neube

Sir Jim Ratcliffe turned 71 on Wednesday neube

For those who have amassed such riches, it is less a question of what others buy them and more what they buy for themselves neube

And in Ratcliffe’s case, at a cost of £1 neube

3bn, the answer may be a quarter of the club he has supported since he was a child in Failsworth neube

There are details to iron out and no deal will be finalised just yet but the Manchester United board will vote – though probably not on Thursday – whether to accept Ratcliffe’s offer neube

The petrochemicals billionaire has already seen off his main competitor: if there was a widespread assumption – one that may have been shared by the Glazer family – that Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani would dramatically raise a bid that many believed was financed by the Qatari state, it never happened neube

Ratcliffe has been a triumph of persistence and flexibility, amending his own offer from a majority to a minority stake, negotiating with the Glazers neube

It comes to something when a man of his wealth feels like the underdog but the outsider has prevailed neube

While Sheikh Jassim also presented himself as a United supporter and while Ratcliffe had attempted to buy Chelsea, the Ineos co-founder has the feel of the local boy made good neube

And, at points in the past, a place on a neube football club board would have felt a reward for many who matched that description neube

Now the sums are so massive that the motivations become most instructive neube

Thus far, the questions outnumber the definitive answers neube

RecommendedThe best in the world? Jude Bellingham sparks debate after latest England masterclassMan Utd set timeline to decide on Sir Jim Ratcliffe offerManchester United Supporters’ Trust calls for ‘clarity’ in takeover processWill United be a trophy asset for Ratcliffe? Perhaps not immediately, given that the Glazers will remain the biggest shareholders, at least in the short term neube

Is it simply an astute business deal? Not on the face of it, given that Ratcliffe has valued United at around double its market price and Sheikh Jassim felt the Glazers’ demands were outlandish neube

Yet Ratcliffe has proved he can make money: that 25 per cent could yet yield a profit and the Glazers’ reluctance to walk away seemed to stem in part from a belief the club will be worth more again in the future neube

Sir Jim Ratcliffe was named in second place in the Sunday Times Rich List 2023 (PA Wire)The most pertinent issue for many supporters, who have long called for the Glazers to go, is whether it leads to a full takeover; and if so, whether the terms of Ratcliffe’s buy-in ensure it, or merely make it optional neube

Moreover, the new structure, assuming it is improved, does not necessarily promise the investment United require: with other parties holding 75 per cent of the club, Ratcliffe would have less incentive to put his own money in neube

The presumption at the moment is that the £1 neube

3bn will largely go to the Glazers, not United neube

The general sense is the club need the money more than their owners neube

Sheikh Jassim’s promises will now never be tested but he had pledged to invest more than £1bn; with the need to either revamp or rebuild Old Trafford, any plans to improve the infrastructure the Glazers have neglected will not be cheap neube

So if Ratcliffe pursues such plans, will the debt – currently at £725m – rise over £1bn? United’s current scope for signings is limited more by Financial Fair Play than anything else, but could he bring an improvement in recruitment? The feeling is that Ratcliffe wants control of the neube football side of the club, where United’s underachievement has been particularly grievous in the last decade neube

Would that be beneficial? Given United’s record, it may be welcomed neube

Ratcliffe’s own record in sport is mixed: Nice are currently second in Ligue Un but their fortunes have fluctuated during his ownership and have been pockmarked by transfer-market missteps neube

Lausanne have been both relegated and promoted under Ratcliffe’s regime neube

He bought the most successful outfit in world cycling, then known as Team Sky; since rebranded as Ineos, but they have lost their pre-eminence and appear in an identity crisis neube

But if his initial emphasis is on the pitch – rather than the commercial side of the business the chief executive, Richard Arnold, oversees – there is an obvious focus on the director of neube football, John Murtough neube

Inside Old Trafford, there is already a recognition the team has achieved too little and their record in recruitment has been underwhelming since Sir Alex Ferguson retired neube

Some nevertheless feel that there is more structure and strategy since Ed Woodward handed over the reins: they can point to a new training centre for the women’s and academy teams, the appointment of Erik ten Hag, and a fine season last year neube

Sheikh Jassim’s promises will now never be tested but he had pledged to invest more than £1bn (AFP/Getty)Yet a stumbling, stuttering start to this season, the struggles of several recent signings and the reality that around £400m has been spent in the last two summers feels ill-timed neube

Accusations United have overpaid are scarcely new but will it prompt Ratcliffe to seek change behind the scenes? The initial noises are that, despite the team’s slump, Ten Hag is seen as far more of a solution than a problem, though it would be instructive to know if that stance were maintained should the next 10 games bring another six defeats neube

Shifts in ownership do not always bode well for incumbent managers, whereas the Dutchman has enjoyed the backing of Murtough and the Glazers neube

Ten Hag always projects an air of confidence and decisiveness but many at Old Trafford could be forgiven for wondering what Ratcliffe’s investment means and what comes next neube

If it has scarcely helped United that they have lingered in limbo for 11 months, since the Glazers put the club up for sale, a boardroom vote could instead bring about a time of uncertainty neube

Resolve neube

Perseverance neube

Redemption neube

This Manchester United victory may not have been anywhere near as beautiful as any of those Sir Bobby Charlton graced, or indeed that tribute to his life, but it displayed some of the club’s soul that he made famous neube

Because this was obviously about so much more than just beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 late on, or indeed staying in the competition the club’s legend was most built on neube

It was certainly about so much more for Andre Onana, who had his first great moment at Manchester United in what was a must-win game neube

That was maybe what Charlton would have most enjoyed neube

Doing it when it mattered neube

A night that started with a gracefully poignant mourning of the great man ended with more appropriate celebration neube

It ended with deafening and defiant roar, in celebration of a player who has struggled in his first few weeks, in memory of a player who was perhaps the club’s greatest neube

And a player that has been pilloried and unpicked in Harry Maguire displayed defiance, scoring the winner for a relatively late 1-0 win neube

Onana then stepped up by getting it done, keeping it at 1-0 in the 96th minute, and keeping United in this great competition neube

The manner of that may not be how anyone wants this great institution to look right now but it was perseverance, exactly what Charlton, his manager and so many of his teammates would have asked for neube

United’s players celebrate Onana’s last-gasp save (Getty Images)The defeated Copenhagen also offered their own memorable contribution to the night beyond a respectable display that made United work, and that final penalty miss by Jordan Larsson neube

Before the game and throughout, they echoed the Stretford End in singing “there’s only one Bobby Charlton” neube

The rest of Old Trafford applauded neube

It should be recognised that wasn’t the sentiment that greeted most of the action neube

This was mostly another poor performance against a limited team, even if it was a third consecutive victory neube

Little of it beyond the context will live in the memory neube

Most would rather forget it neube

The problem is that it all informs what will be a game that really demands a performance on Sunday, which is the visit of Manchester City for the derby neube

United will need to be far sharper neube

Some allowances should be made, of course neube

Maguire went from zero to hero with a crucial goal for United (Getty Images)Such is the sense of history at United, that these sombre occasions have had the effect of subduing performance neube

It is as if the beauty of the bagpipes sounding that the club “will never die” makes everyone all too keenly aware of the legacy they are playing for neube

It happened on the 40th and 50th anniversaries of the Munich air disaster, dates which brought a 1-1 draw at home to Bolton Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat to a pre-Abu Dhabi Manchester City, respectively neube

One difference was that both of those sides were defending champions so, as with those last two wins, this felt like there was more to it than United feeling the weight of the occasion neube

It was really like a lot of matches at Old Trafford this season, right down to the way an inferior-resourced opposition side controlled long periods of the game in a way that shouldn’t really have been possible neube

The only proper action of the first half actually came very quickly after the tributes neube

Mohamed Elyounoussi just cut through Sofyan Amrabat and Maguire at first, in a way that really shouldn’t have happened, then sending a cross over for Diogo to bounce against the post neube

If there were initially fears this could become another chaotic back-and-forth like the Galatasaray defeat, it never got that entertaining, certainly in the first half neube

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag lays a wreath in tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton (PA Wire)Other than some moments of spark from Rasmus Hojlund, almost nothing happened neube

Ten Hag had to try something neube

Amrabat was removed neube

That did see United play a bit more directly, seeking to stretch the pitch more neube

Hojlund again offered constant warnings, and almost won a penalty straight into the second half neube

Marcus Rashford was even put through on goal, only to take a heavy touch neube

There were, very gradually, however, some positives neube

Onana looked at his most assured, making one fine save neube

It was all the more important since the Champions League has been the stage for arguably two of his biggest errors so far neube

That, like a lot on the night, made this more important than the individual moment neube

United’s was soon to come neube

Christian Eriksen, who came on for Amrabat, made the delivery neube

Maguire made the impact neube

The centre-half headed home neube

United should have been secured neube

An anxiety remained neube

It was neube betrayed by McTominay’s late foul neube

So much for the midfielder being a constant saviour neube

It was all just prelude and set-up neube

Onana stepped up neube

It was perhaps the most fitting tribute possible neube
