Ineos chief executive Jean Claude Blanc was also at the FA Cup win at Wigan.

Official ratification of the deal is not likely until the end of February.

However, it is part of the deal that Brailsford and Blanc will sit on the football club board and must be told of any significant decisions around key personnel in the interim period.

Ineos representatives spent extended periods at Old Trafford and United's Carrington training ground last week as they begin to get an understanding of the club.
