Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has expressed his admiration for Sir Alex Ferguson and described him as “the world’s most iconic coach”.
Ratcliffe’s minority investment into the club was confirmed in a club statement on Tuesday evening and, on Wednesday, he gave an in-depth interview to MUTV’s Helen Evans.
During a wide-ranging discussion at INEOS HQ, discussing his priorities on and off the pitch, including options for Old Trafford, Sir Jim also touched on the warm welcome he has received from staff at the club – something he puts down to United’s northern DNA.
