Manchester United Owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe Questions Player Quality and Overpayment Amidst Struggles

In a revealing interview, Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe expressed deep concerns about the current squad’s performance, labeling some players as not good enough and overpaid. This comes as the club finds itself languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table, raising alarms among fans and stakeholders alike.

Ratcliffe, a lifelong Manchester United supporter and chairman of the petrochemicals company Ineos, made headlines last year when he invested £1.3 billion for a 28.94% stake in the club, gaining control over football operations. During his recent comments, he reflected on the club’s disappointing season and reiterated his commitment to delivering silverware by 2028.

Addressing the club’s recent signings, Ratcliffe stated, “If you look at the players we are buying this summer, that we didn’t buy, we’re buying Antony, we’re buying Casemiro, we’re buying Onana, we’re buying Hojlund, we’re buying Sancho. These are all things from the past, whether we like it or not, we’ve inherited those things and have to sort that out.”

He specifically highlighted the struggles of several high-profile players. Jadon Sancho, who now plays for Chelsea, is one example, with the club reportedly still covering half of his wages. Other players like Brazil’s Antony and midfielder Casemiro, acquired in hefty deals of £81.5 million and £70 million, respectively, have also faced criticism for their performances.

“It takes time for us to move away from the past into a new place in the future,” Ratcliffe explained. When pressed about the suitability of these players, he candidly remarked, “Some are not good enough and some probably are overpaid, but for us to mould the squad that we are fully responsible for, and accountable for, will take time.”

Ratcliffe acknowledged the need for a transformation within the team and emphasized the importance of having a squad capable of competing at the highest level. He did, however, recognize the talent within the squad, particularly praising captain Bruno Fernandes as a “fantastic footballer.”

Looking ahead, Ratcliffe hinted that significant changes might be on the horizon, suggesting that the departure of players like Marcus Rashford could provide new opportunities for investment in the squad. Despite the financial challenges facing the club, he remains optimistic about building a competitive team for the future.
