‘Not good enough’ and ‘overpaid’: Ratcliffe slams Man Utd flops
LONDON: Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe has blasted some of his troubled club’s stars as “not good enough” and “probably overpaid.” Ratcliffe has endured a dismal start to his reign at Old Trafford since taking charge of footballing operations in February last year.

The Dutchman was subsequently sacked in October and replaced by Ruben Amorim after United endured another wretched run. INEOS chairman Ratcliffe has accepted the
