Alan Shearer has hit out at Sir Jim Ratcliffe's 'chaotic' ownership of Manchester United following a turbulent start to the season.
British billionaire and boyhood United fan Ratcliffe, 72, completed his 25 per cent purchase of the club in February, with the Glazer family subsequently handing him control of football operations.
However, it has been a difficult first year in charge for Ratcliffe and his Ineos group as United have undergone a trying time on and off the pitch.
Back in the summer, the Red Devils handed Erik ten Hag a new contract despite significant speculation over his future - and gave him more than £200million to spend in the transfer market - before they then sacked him in October, shelling out £15m in compensation.
