He's the man behind the golden age of British cycling - but with a tainted legacy. Sir Dave Brailsford, knighted in 2013 following Great Britain National team's remarkable feats at the London Olympic Games, is expected to soon become a leading figure at the biggest football club in England - if not the world - Manchester United.
As director of sports for INEOS - the petrochemical conglomerate owned by Britain's second-richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe - Brailsford has been keenly involved in the £1.4billion bid which is set to result in the company owning 25 percent of United by the end of this week.

The 59-year-old was part of INEOS' delegation who made a visit to Manchester for in-depth discussions with club chiefs back in March. "We'd very much like to do it," Brailsford told ITV when aked about the company's pursuit. "To be custodians of one of one of the biggest sporting teams, brands, in the world and trying to really support the team and go back to the success they deserve. And also the fanbase."
However the governing body is not very pleased by this deal, considering Brailsford's sporting past which wasn't always all sunshine and rainbows, especially when it comes to multiple doping cases against him and his team(s), even if Brailsford came cleared of all accusations in the end.
