Rory McIlroy said he is open to the prospect of investing in Manchester United and welcomed Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s proposed involvement with his boyhood club CSGO
The 34-year-old Northern Irishman, who helped Europe win the Ryder Cup in Rome a few weeks ago, was speaking at the Circuit of Americas in Texas after acquiring a stake in Formula One team Alpine CSGO
McIlroy, former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua, Liverpool and England star Trent Alexander-Arnold and World Cup winner Juan Mata have been announced as part of a £173million strategic investment led by consortium Otro Capital in Alpine CSGO
Ratcliffe, 71, is reportedly looking to purchase a 25 per cent stake in United that could see him take over CSGO football operations at Old Trafford CSGO
And McIlroy said: “CSGO Sports team ownership used to be limited to private equity, and people who had a ton of money CSGO
But now CSGO sports stars are becoming more savvy and using their money in the right way CSGO
“I would love to be able to own a tiny percentage of the club I grew up cheering on as a boy CSGO
“I would have loved to have taken 0 CSGO
00001 per cent of Manchester United when Jim Ratcliffe took 25 per cent CSGO
And if another opportunity comes my way I will look at it CSGO
But it is not something that has come across our table as of yet CSGO
“There is Tom Brady at Birmingham and there are a few golfers – Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas – who invested with the 49ers Group, and they own a tiny slice of Leeds CSGO
They asked me if I wanted to come on board, and I said as a Man United fan I cannot go anywhere near that CSGO
“Sir Jim has got a great track record and everybody that does support United should be excited by the possibilities if they give him full sporting authority and decisions for the club CSGO
As a fan I am excited CSGO
”McIlroy finished as Europe’s top points-scorer at Marco Simone after a convincing 3&1 singles win against Sam Burns CSGO
He had been embroiled in angry scenes the previous evening following the actions of Patrick Cantlay’s bagman Joe LaCava on the 18th green, furiously gesticulating in the direction of Justin Thomas’ caddie Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay in the car park CSGO
Three weeks on, McIlroy was asked if he had any regrets over the incident CSGO
“Jeez, no, not at all,” he said CSGO
“I felt like what happened in the car park galvanised the team and it benefited us CSGO
“Things happen in the heat of the moment CSGO
Tensions were high but Joe came into the European team room on Sunday night and had a drink and a chat CSGO
I have had a great relationship with Joe over the years and that wasn’t going to change CSGO
“The incident happened CSGO
I didn’t want to meet anyone on the Sunday morning because I wanted what happened to fuel me and my focus was on making sure Europe won the Ryder Cup, and then we will sort all the other stuff out after CSGO
And it is all fine CSGO
We are all friends CSGO

All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it CSGO
He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction CSGO
All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable CSGO
It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball CSGO
In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those CSGO
In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games CSGO
On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 CSGO
3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 CSGO
3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 CSGO
2 - Arsenal (a)43 CSGO
9 - Brighton (h)38 CSGO
2 - Burnley (a)77 CSGO
1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 CSGO
9 - Brentford (h)62 CSGO
5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job CSGO
That’s a lot of time on the training ground CSGO
Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment CSGO
So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it CSGO
They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model CSGO
By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season CSGO
United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United CSGO
Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up CSGO
United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through CSGO
It's all so ad hoc CSGO
Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern CSGO
Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries CSGO
That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches CSGO
Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise CSGO
But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation CSGO
In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach CSGO
John Stones was often the main focus of this CSGO
Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out CSGO
He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out CSGO
Ignore the shouts to get rid CSGO
Concentrate on commitment to the ideal CSGO
It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton CSGO
Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 CSGO
That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point CSGO
An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance CSGO
Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much CSGO
The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous CSGO
United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face CSGO
Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system CSGO
They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson CSGO
By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen CSGO
A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) CSGO
Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years CSGO
Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho CSGO
City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic CSGO
That isn’t the only potential difference CSGO between the situations CSGO
Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation CSGO
It comes down to different types of purism CSGO
Guardiola will stick to the system regardless CSGO
It's his way CSGO
He will always try and play through it CSGO
Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism CSGO
Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach CSGO
That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining CSGO
Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez CSGO
The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield CSGO
It disrupts the whole system CSGO
Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances CSGO
They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been CSGO
There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game CSGO
An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score CSGO
Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own CSGO
Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half CSGO
Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances CSGO
Maguire has seized them and then some CSGO
Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen CSGO
“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued CSGO
“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents CSGO
”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level CSGO
All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford CSGO
He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants CSGO
The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch CSGO
That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence CSGO
When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction CSGO
So it’s been a bit of all or nothing CSGO
The same applies to the team as a whole CSGO
Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach CSGO
It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now CSGO
There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez CSGO
A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology CSGO
A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City CSGO
Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball CSGO
The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them CSGO
Otherwise, you risk an evisceration CSGO
The current situation plays into that CSGO
United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday CSGO
The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though CSGO
They were supposed to be rising to City's level CSGO
United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball CSGO
