Sir Jim Ratcliffe slams Manchester United's 'poor' manager selection and blasts 'players like Fred'

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's brutal verdict of Manchester United from 2019 has re-emerged, as talks of his potential takeover at Old Trafford continue to grow.

On Wednesday, a spokesperson speaking on behalf of the billionaire Ineos owner, outlined that the English businessman views himself as a 'potential buyer' of the Red Devils.

A self-confessed Manchester United fan, Ratcliffe has the aim of taking full control of the club in the future - after seeing his last-minute £4.25billion offer to purchase Chelsea in May get rejected.

And fans could expect some wholesale changes at the club should the takeover go through, after the 69-year-old's savage assessment of the club from three years ago re-emerged.
