Sir Jim Ratcliffe Brings Hope to Manchester United: Harry Maguire Impressed by New Investor
Manchester United may have found their savior in Sir Jim Ratcliffe, according to Harry Maguire. Ratcliffe, the British billionaire and owner of Ineos, recently had his 25 percent stake in the club approved by the Football Association. This move comes as a ray of hope for the Red Devils, who have been struggling to return to their former glory in recent years.
Maguire, the England international and United’s center-back, revealed that he and his teammates were left “impressed” by Ratcliffe and the Ineos team during their first meeting. The positive energy and good intensity brought by the new investors have given the players hope for a brighter future at the club.
As someone who is committed to the success of Manchester United, Maguire believes that Ratcliffe will play a significant role in bringing the club back to where it should be. The team has had a tough few years, failing to meet the high expectations that come with being a top-tier club. Maguire acknowledges that the club’s history and legacy demand consistent challenge for major trophies and a top position in the Premier League.
Ratcliffe and his right-hand man, Sir Dave Brailsford, addressed the United squad at Carrington last month. Their message of intent and motivation was well-received by the players, who are eager to fight for the club’s success. Maguire expressed his excitement for the future, stating that Ratcliffe’s fresh energy will move the club in the right direction.
Ratcliffe has wasted no time in making changes on the football side of things. He has already poached Manchester City’s CEO Omar Berrada and is now targeting Newcastle’s Dan Ashworth as the club’s sporting director. While United has not made an official approach yet, Ashworth is reportedly open to the move.
Maguire himself has faced scrutiny and criticism during his time at United. Last summer, he was on the verge of leaving for West Ham in a £30 million move. However, the defender has remained committed to the club and is now getting back to his best form. In fact, he was named man-of-the-match in United’s recent Premier League win against Aston Villa.
Despite the challenges, Maguire has always had the belief that he could regain his previous form and perform at the highest level. He credits his support system and inner confidence for helping him overcome the scrutiny and pressure that comes with playing for a top club like Manchester United.
In addition to praising Ratcliffe, Maguire also had words of admiration for his teammate Rasmus Hojlund. The 21-year-old striker has been in excellent form, scoring five goals in as many Premier League games. Maguire believes that Hojlund’s exceptional talent will continue to shine and predicts a bright future for the young player at Manchester United.
With Sir Jim Ratcliffe now at the helm, Manchester United is hoping for a revival. The positive energy brought by the new investors has left the players impressed and motivated. Maguire and his teammates are ready to fight for the success of the club and believe that Ratcliffe’s vision will lead them back to their former glory. As they continue their journey, United fans are hopeful that brighter days are ahead.
