Sir Jim Ratcliffe: What issues need addressing at Man Utd?

Sir Jim Ratcliffe got a first look at his £1.25bn investment at Old Trafford as Manchester United drew Sunday's Premier League encounter with Tottenham.

Before the game, the 71-year-old cut a shy figure as he addressed the media, saying he was "excited" to be inside the stadium he will either rebuild or replace.

The British billionaire businessman spent the match sat next to 82-year-old Sir Alex Ferguson in the directors' box, who was Ratcliffe's age when he stepped down as manager in 2013. Since Ferguson left, the club he built to dominate the English game has fallen from grace in a quite catastrophic manner.
