The INEOS owner is also one of Kipchoge's sponsors. He was behind the 1:59 challenge in 2019 when Kipchoge became the first man to run a marathon in under two hours. However, the race was not recognised as a world record because it didn't adhere to World Athletics guidelines.
The 39-year-old was seen talking to the recovering Mason Mount and Luke Shaw before taking a picture with the whole squad. Club captain Bruno Fernandes also gave him a shirt.

It was Manchester United's second loss of the season, with pressure now piling up on ten Hag to produce results.
