Dan Roan, the BBC's sports editor, speaks to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, billionaire businessman and co-owner of Manchester United Football Club. In this conversation, Sir Jim discusses the changes he's implementing both on and off the pitch, as well as his vision to transform the iconic club into one of the world's most profitable businesses. Born into a modest family, he's been a lifelong Manchester United supporter. After studying chemical engineering at university he set up his chemicals business, INEOS, in 1998. He is still the Chairman and Chief Executive. INEOS has invested in cycling, Formula One motor racing and sailing. He's been running Manchester United for just over a year and he himself admits its been a challenging 12 months.

With a substantial debt estimated at around one billion pounds, the club has seen job cuts and ticket price increases. Sir Jim acknowledges that the anger directed at him is understandable but remains focused on his goal: to make Manchester United the most profitable club in the world.

In recent years, many sports have received huge investment from oil-rich petrostates, and while the term ‘sportswashing' is relatively new, the idea of using sport as a way to deflect negative publicity has been around for years. The impact of recent huge investment has changed the landscape for football, golf, F1, cricket and boxing and many believe this to be a new form of soft power for those involved. Dan Roan, sports editor at BBC News, talks to Claire Graham about the accusation that countries are investing in sport and high-profile events to improve their international reputation.

Whether it's the Saudi Pro League's £750m spending spree, the unopposed bid for the 2034 men's World Cup or the growing influence in golf, tennis, boxing and F1, the scale of Saudi Arabia's sporting ambitions seem boundless.

A surprise deal between golf's two main tours and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund sent shockwaves through the world of men's professional golf at the start of June. It came as increasing numbers of players move to Saudi Arabia's football league, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante. In recent years, Saudi Arabia has become a more visual presence on the sporting scene, hosting Formula 1 races and high-profile world title boxing bouts. The controversial purchase of Newcastle United was further evidence of a growing interest in using sport to project Saudi Arabia to a wider audience. But human rights campaigners say Saudi Arabia is trying to sports-wash its poor human rights record. On the Real Story this week, we examine the reasons behind Saudi Arabia's increasingly prominent presence on the international sporting scene. How does it link to the domestic and geopolitical ambitions of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman? And what impact could it have on international sport going forward?

Sunday was a pleasant surprise for most Bulls fans. Billy Donovan's team was not only competitive in the series opener, it was a couple of made three-pointers away from stealing Game 1. After the way Milwaukee mauled the Bulls the last two times out, this was a step forward. They now have an extra day to make some adjustments. Dan Roan checked in with the legendary Sam Smith to take a stab at what might happen in Game 2.

Gigi Salmon hosts this episode of the Football Daily pod, which has an international flavour, as we delve deep inside the England camp and find out how the Wales players are feeling ahead of their crucial match against Austria.

Ian gets some time with Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell where he lets us in to his personal life and tells us why playing at Wembley is so important to him and BBC sports editor Dan Roan speaks to England captain, Harry Kane on the issues surrounding playing the World Cup in Qatar.
