Sir Jim Ratcliffe labels Man United's organisation 'not good', says Erik ten Hag's place in structure is OUTDATED and claims culture is 'missing' - in a damning assessment of his £1.3bn investment

Sir Jim Ratcliffe believes Manchester United's culture isn't geared up to achieve success in a damning assessment following his £1.3billion investment.

The Ineos billionaire saw his purchase of a 27.7 per cent stake in the Old Trafford club confirmed on Tuesday but gave a withering assessment of the set-up he will aim to transform.

Ratcliffe, 71, plans big changes off the field with the aim of creating a return to winning ways on, with United failing to challenge for the Premier League title since 2013.

'We have to look at the organisation of the club, because it is not good at the moment,' Ratcliffe told Belgian newspaper De Tijd.
