Manchester United take over: What Ferguson has to say
Manchester United legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken regarding the club’s potential ownership by British billionaire, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Amidst skepticism by the United fan base, the former Manchester United boss has come out to express confidence in the potential impact of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s involvement with the club, should Ratcliffe finalize the acquisition of a 25% stake valued at £1.3 billion in the club.
The Glazer family, current owners of Manchester United, put the club up for sale several months ago, sparking significant interest from prospective investors, with Ratcliffe emerging as a frontrunner in discussions regarding a substantial stake in the club.
In a recent conversation with journalist Mark Souster on the ‘In The Zone’ platform, Ferguson, who retains a directorial role at Manchester United, shared his perspective on Ratcliffe’s reported investment.
“I am still a director of the club. I know Jim [Ratcliffe] well. We shall have to see what he does. But I am optimistic,” Ferguson remarked.
Ferguson’s backing of Ratcliffe signals a sense of anticipation and hope among stakeholders and fans regarding the potential restructuring and revitalization of the club under new ownership.
The former manager’s enduring association with the club lends weight to his words and has stirred further interest in Ratcliffe’s potential impact on the team’s future.
