Harry Maguire has shared what his Manchester United team thinks about Sir Jim Ratcliffe after a private meeting. The 71-year-old, who is set to buy 25 per cent of the club from the Glazers, has already made his mark at Old Trafford.

Ratcliffe hasn't officially completed the deal yet, but he's already had a meeting with the squad and according to former Red Devils captain Maguire, Erik ten Hag's players were really impressed by the incoming part-owner.

In a chat with Sky Sports, Maguire said: "I think the lads came out of the meeting [with Ratcliffe] really impressed with how he spoke. [He] gave us great motivation, everyone in the room, to fight for the club and fight for this badge and to stay on this journey.

It's exciting times for the club because you can see he's brought that fresh energy. We feel now he will take the club in the right direction."
