Co-owner of Manchester United since December 24, 2023, Jim Ratcliffe has not yet succeeded in placing the Red Devils among the best European teams. In a muscular interview with the magazine United We Standthe British businessman gave his verdict on the state of the club and was very critical.
The club has been adrift for a long time, about a decade. Manchester United have become mediocre. They are not an elite team and they are supposed to be one of the best football clubs in the world. That’s what it was under Sir Alex Ferguson. There are major changes coming to achieve elite status. But there have already been huge changes in this club, he said, pointing the finger at recruitment and its staff: “you can’t just flip a switch and fix recruiting. It’s all about people and we need to find the right people.”.
