Ratcliffe wants to rally the troops at MU
In England, Jim Ratcliffe is poking his nose into current affairs at Manchester United! While the boss of Ineos will integrate the capital of the Mancunian club with the objective of taking total control in the years to come, he already has some messages to convey at the sports level. As the placard Daily Mirror this morning, they are: “Sir Jim’s Ten Commandments. Ratcliffe orders the United manager and Sancho to end their damaging feud.» Same thing on the front page of Daily Star : “Ratcliffe asks Ten Hag to reconcile with Sancho who is in exile.” For the Daily Express“Ratcliffe puts his men in marching order. Ratcliffe wants Ten Hag to resolve his dispute with Sancho, who has been snubbed.»And yes, the England international was banned from the Red Devils first team for criticizing his coach. But for Ratcliffe, this sanction makes no sense and in view of the crisis the club is going through, all the forces must be called upon. Sancho still needs to stay in Manchester during the next winter transfer window because according to Daily MailJuventus is not letting go of the former Borussia Dortmund player!
