Rio Ferdinand Raises Concerns About Sir Jim Ratcliffes Plans for Manchester United Takeover

Ratcliffe's "Left Field" Approach Questioned by Ferdinand

Former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand has expressed concerns over Sir Jim Ratcliffe's transfer plans as he prepares to take a 25 percent stake in the club from the Glazer family. Ferdinand has questioned the "left field" move and is unsure about Ratcliffe's suitability for the role.

Recruitment Doubts and Preferred Candidates

Ferdinand has reservations about the potential recruitment of Crystal Palace's Dougie Freedman, citing the lack of a reputation that justifies the interest from Manchester United. Instead, Ferdinand believes that individuals with a successful track record, such as Paul Mitchell, Michael Edwards, Julian Ward, and Dan Ashworth, would be more suitable candidates.

Potential Transfer War Chest

Ratcliffe is eager to start working as soon as possible and may provide manager Erik ten Hag with a transfer war chest in January to address Manchester United's slow start to the season. However, Ferdinand remains cautious, highlighting Ratcliffe's lack of previous success in football as a potential risk.

Ferdinand Hopes for Change

Despite his concerns, Ferdinand hopes that Ratcliffe will bring fresh ideas and lay out a clear vision for Manchester United's future.
