Patrick Vieira believes Erik ten Hag will enjoy working under Sir Jim Ratcliffe as he praised the soon-to-be Manchester United minority stakeholder.
The petrochemicals billionaire, a boyhood United fan, is on the verge of completing a deal to buy a 25 percent stake in the club for about £1.4billion.
The INEOS boss initially lodged a bid for a majority stake in the club when the Glazers announced last November that they were open to investment or a full sale.
But after a prolonged impasse, Ratfcliffe submitted an adjusted offer for a minority stake in the club in the first step in what is being viewed as a staged buyout.
