Ratcliffe critical of Man Utd signing Casemiro

Manchester United prospective owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has chimed in on the club's previous transfer activity.

The English billionaire, who is the head of INEOS, outlined where United have failed in the market over the past decade.

Ratcliffe, who wants to buy 25 percent of the club and gain full control of sporting matters, identified Casemiro as an example of poor recruitment.

Per The Mail, Ratcliffe pointed out how the 31-year-old Casemiro joined United for £60 million on a four-year contract in 2022.

He still has three years left on that deal, but already looks to be past his very best.

Ratcliffe does believe in the club's manager Erik ten Hag, but wants to appoint a sporting director.
