Paul Scholes questions Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 'bizarre' partnership with the Glazers... as the Man United legend is unconvinced that the Americans will surrender full control of all football-related decisions

Paul Scholes has cast doubt over whether Sir Jim Ratcliffe would be allowed to have total control over all football-related matters, ahead of his looming deal to buy a 25 per cent stake in Manchester United.

The petrochemicals billionaire is on the cusp of finalising a deal to buy a share of the club from the Glazer ownership to the tune of £1.3billion.

It is expected that the deal would see the INEOS owner take control of football operations at Old Trafford.

However, Manchester United legend Scholes still believes the Glazer family will want a say, and finds it hard to believe Ratcliffe will be 'left to his own devices' when he would only own 25 per cent of the club.
