Manchester United’s new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has stirred up controversy after conveying a deep sense of dismay at the state of affairs surrounding the club. Ratcliffe, who recently acquired a minority stake in United, was on an impromptu tour of the club’s facilities, visiting Old Trafford stadium and the Carrington training ground. At the end of his visit, he was an appalled man.
Immediately after the visit, he addressed all Manchester United staff through an email. Ratcliffe complained about the lack of cleanliness and tidiness within the club’s premises. He described the situation in the IT department as a “disgrace” and criticized the condition of dressing rooms used by the U18 and U21 teams.
Manchester United Mentality
Ratcliffe to raise the standard and change the mentality of Manchester United, he emphasized that such standards would not be tolerated during his reign as the new owner. He reiterated that a club of such magnitude and great history, rich with trophies should not be living in deplorable standards. He is on a mission to bring back Manchester United to its former currently lost glory.
The email caused shivery all across the corners of the club, with staff members shocked by the ferocious critique of their work environment. Not all took it as positive criticism as most viewed Ratcliffe’s feedback as extremely harsh and borderline insulting, others saw it as a wake-up call to new beginnings of Ratcliffe’s era. Ratcliffe’s insistence on raising standards and instilling a culture of excellence has divided opinions within the club, but it underscores his commitment to instilling positive change.
A Total Overhaul
This is one of the many efforts lined up by Ratcliffe’s mission to overhaul Manchester United’s operations and to instill a new culture that has rapidly deteriorated since the yesteryears of Sir Alex Ferguson. If this effort is anything to go by then Manchester United is going to be held to a higher standard on performance, mentality, and discipline, and outcomes will be positive from the outset, signaling a new era under his ownership. Will he be able to bring the glory days back to Manchester United?
Ratcliffe’s energetic hands-on approach to tackling shortcomings and implementing positive improvements reflects his strong willpower to transform the club both on and off the pitch. With a busy transfer window in the coming summer which will see another overhaul in the first-team players bringing in new players and letting go of players who are deemed not fit to wear the Manchester United jersey.

They believe that these improvements will skyrocket the club to the elite level that it once was.
