Ratcliffe labels Man United's organisation 'not good' and culture is 'missing'
Sir Jim Ratcliffe believes Manchester United's culture isn't geared up to achieve success in a damning assessment following his £1.3billion investment.
The Ineos billionaire saw his purchase of a 27.7 per cent stake in the Old Trafford club confirmed on Tuesday but gave a withering assessment of the set-up he will aim to transform.
Ratcliffe, 71, plans big changes off the field with the aim of creating a return to winning ways on, with United failing to challenge for the Premier League title since 2013.
'We have to look at the organisation of the club, because it is not good at the moment,' Ratcliffe told Belgian newspaper De Tijd.
'Take the head coach [Erik ten Hag] for example: he must report directly to the CEO. That is no longer possible in a modern football organisation.
'We have to ensure that the right people end up in the right positions. Every person in management must be world class.
'And then it is important to create a positive, supportive, friendly and high-quality environment. That culture was missing before.
'Only in such an environment can you get the best out of sportsmen. If successful, the results will follow automatically.
'That's the plan and I believe in it.'
