Revealed: The Sir Jim Ratcliffe comment which 'irked the Glazers' - and a habit which makes Man United's long-standing owners 'discontent'

Manchester United's chiefs are reportedly divided as Sir Jim Ratcliffe's frank speech and behaviour are said to have got on the Glazers' nerves.

Ratcliffe and Ineos were handed the keys to Old Trafford in December 2023 as their £1.3billion takeover of 27.7 per cent of the club - and its football operations - was confirmed.

They have since enacted a stringent cost-cutting and revenue-boosting regime, making around a third of staff redundant, slashing privileges for staff and ambassadors like Sir Alex Ferguson, and raising ticket prices.

While Ratcliffe and Ineos have taken a lot of heat off the Glazers, the long-standing ownership family are still reported to have been irked by some of his actions.
