Manchester United's executive offices underwent another round of reshuffling on Tuesday night, as the club continues to reshape itself under co-owner Jim Ratcliffe.

In an official statement, the club confirmed that both interim CEO Patrick Stewart and chief financial officer Cliff Baty will be stepping down at the end of the current season. Their departures come by mutual consent.

This leadership shakeup comes as part of a broader transformation orchestrated by Ratcliffe. To fill the immediate void, Jean-Claude Blanc, CEO of Ratcliffe's INEOS Sport, will take over as chief executive on an interim basis until July 13th.

On that date, Omar Berrada, a former Manchester City executive, is expected to assume the permanent CEO role.

The financial helm will also see a change in leadership. Roger Bell, previously the chief financial officer at INEOS Sport, will replace Cliff Baty.

Jim Ratcliffe expressed his gratitude to both Stewart and Baty for their assistance during the ownership transition. "I respect their decisions to now move on as we establish a new management team for the club," Ratcliffe said in the statement.

These latest changes follow the recent departures of former CEO Richard Arnold in November and football director John Murtough earlier this month. The flurry of executive exits and appointments reflects a significant shift in Manchester United's leadership as Ratcliffe imprints his vision on the club's future.
