Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Alex Ferguson were both present at Old Trafford as Manchester United took on Tottenham in a thrilling 2-2 draw. It was a special occasion as it was the first time Ratcliffe, a British billionaire who had recently invested £1.3bn into the club, was watching from the stands. The match did not disappoint, providing plenty of excitement for the on-looking Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his fellow spectators.
The game got off to a blistering start as United took the lead within three minutes thanks to a goal from Rasmus Hojlund, his second league goal of the season. It was a well-worked play with Bruno Fernandes setting up Marcus Rashford, who then passed to Hojlund for a powerful finish into the top of the net. However, Spurs were quick to respond and equalised just 15 minutes later through Richarlison's goal from a set-piece. The pace of the game remained relentless, with both teams creating chances and putting pressure on each other.
As the first half drew to a close, United managed to regain the lead with Rashford scoring his first goal at Old Trafford this season. However, Spurs were determined to get something out of the match and equalised again early in the second half through Rodrigo Bentancur's left-footed strike. United then brought on Scott McTominay to try and gain control in midfield, but both teams continued to push for a winner in the remaining minutes.
Despite some close chances, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with United falling behind Arsenal in fourth place and Spurs level on points with their London rivals. As the final whistle blew, it was a disappointing result for both teams, but a thrilling game for the spectators and a memorable experience for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Alex Ferguson, who were both treated to an eventful and entertaining match.
