Manchester United's owners will represent the club at both the men's Premier League clash against Arsenal and the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.

The end-of-season run-in has seen an upturn in appearances from United's majority owners, the Glazer family, who have travelled over from America to monitor performances before key decisions are set to be made in the summer.

Meanwhile, new Red Devils investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe has continued to be an ever-present figure at matches after taking sporting control of the 13-time Premier League champions with his team of INEOS executives.

Huge fixtures for both the men's and women's teams has seen United's top brass decide to split appearances between the two games.

Ratcliffe will watch Erik ten Hag's misfiring men's squad host Arsenal at Old Trafford as the Gunners attempt to get a vital victory that would see them move back top of the table heading into the final match of the season.

Co-owner Avram Glazer will instead be based in London as United's women's team attempt to win the club's first FA Cup title when they take on Tottenham at England's national stadium.

72-year-old Ratcliffe is keen to switch the narrative at United by making sure the club are represented by key decision makers on a regular basis as he continues his overhaul both on and off the pitch.

The British billionaire will be joined by high-ranking colleagues of his INEOS team - the petrochemicals company he owns - at United's clash with Arsenal.

His presence in the stands coincides with Ratcliffe still being yet to make a decision on whether to replace Ten Hag as manager following a difficult second season for the Dutchman.

Ratcliffe and Avram Glazer recently sat together at Wembley as they watched United's narrow men's FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry.

Ratcliffe has been an ever-present figure at United's games since securing investment in the club

The Glazer family have allowed Ratcliffe and his associates to take the reigns of sporting control at United since the boyhood supporter secured a 27.7 per cent investment in the club in December.

However, the Americans remain majority shareholders and are still keeping a close eye on developments at Old Trafford as Ratcliffe attempts to get United back challenging for frequent top honours.
