Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes swipe at Manchester United star in new book | OneFootball

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment at Manchester United is something we expect to go through in the coming weeks, but it doesn’t seem like the Glazer family – or the lawyers working on the case – are in any rush to get the deal across the line.

We’ve been told there’s nothing to worry about on that front and it’s only a matter of time before Ineos arrive, with their plans for a greater future at Old Trafford.

They’ve got a mountain of work to tackle.

However, there’s never a shortage of drama – and the media certainly knows how to spin it.

The Daily Mail has ran a report on the opening page of Ratcliffe’s new book where he speaks about his travels and recalled a trip around the Pacific Ocean just to show how the other half lives.

During this time, he ‘felt the ground tremble every time a Cook Islander smashed into another in a local rugby match’ and added the one player was ‘carted off in the back of a pick-up with a broken leg’. Ratcliffe carefully notes that experienced was ‘a far cry from Bruno Fernandes clutching his untouched face in the Liverpool debacle recently’ which referenced the Portugal international’s antics during Liverpool’s 7-0 win over United back in March.

That game, in actual fact, proved to be a bad turning point for Ten Hag. It all seems to have gone south since then.

Fernandes faces no shortage of criticism and as club captain, we really need to demand better leadership when he’s walking a suspension tightrope and gets suspended a week before our trip to Liverpool.

That’s essentially why he has been subject to so much criticism since the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
