Jinx or lucky charm? Sir Jim Ratcliffe's record when attending Manchester United games

Ratcliffe has a mixed record attending Man Utd games: 12 wins, 7 draws, 10 losses since becoming minority shareholder, with two previous defeats at Stamford Bridge.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is attending Manchester United's trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea this weekend, putting his attendance record under scrutiny. Since becoming a minority shareholder at Old Trafford, Ratcliffe's presence has been a mixed blessing for the club.

His record in person stands at 12 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses. Most notably, he has visited Stamford Bridge twice before as a Man Utd supporter and witnessed two defeats both times. Ratcliffe was present for some significant moments, including the FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry City and the final triumph against Manchester City, but recent visits have been disappointing.

In his last four attendances, Man Utd have won just one game. This includes losses to Manchester City, Newcastle, and a 3-0 defeat at the Etihad in September. Manager Michael Carrick may view Ratcliffe's attendance as an omen ahead of Saturday's Chelsea fixture.
