What Does Sir Alex Ferguson Think of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Minority Investment as They Sit Together For Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur?

It’s going to be a tense phase for Manchester United in the next few months. But the excitement has already begun as Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are watching Manchester United versus Tottenham Hotspur. The meeting can be considered quite important, as Sir Alex Ferguson mentioned earlier his role at the club and his opinion about Sir Jim.

The Glazers have finally agreed to make some sort of deal after receiving a lot of criticism from fans and pundits. However, they only invested in 25% for the club’s ownership. Nevertheless, the presence of the former legendary coach can provide some hope for the Red Devils.

Opinion of Sir Alex Ferguson on Sir Jim Ratcliffe revealed

The 13-time Premier League-winning manager claimed that he knows Sir Jim well. Speaking a couple of months ago in an interview, Sir Alex said, “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.” However, it is expected to take another month for the deal to be ratified. But Sir Alex’s opinion will definitely comfort the United fans.

It has been more than ten years since the Premier League title came to Old Trafford. The most successful team in the Premier League has not won a major trophy since 2013, except for Jose Mourinho’s UEFA Europa League in 2017. Hence, the famine was too much for the fans to take, leading them to the slogan ‘Glazers Out.’

Sir Ratcliffe finally got approved of a deal for $1.3 billion, finding favor with the Glazers after failing to buy Chelsea. Investors approaching the American family faced troubles negotiating deals as even Sheikh Jassim’s bid of $3.3 billion for a 100% stake was rejected. And the new journey for the 71-year-old Englishman is expected to begin soon.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe speaks ahead of the game between Manchester United and Spurs

We normally do well against Spurs.” United has an astonishing record with 96 wins in 200 games, while Spurs have aced them 54 times.
