On the sidelines of an event organized by FC United, a amateur club founded by fans of Manchester United -which Éric Cantona is co -owner -, “King Eric” has strongly criticized the sports leadership of “MU”, including Ratcliffe to the charge since he took a minority part of 25% in February 2024.
The British billionaire, at the head of the petro-chemical company Ineos, has implemented an austerity policy within the Mancunian club which notably gave rise to the abolition of 450 jobs and an increase in prices of tickets to Old Trafford, while the construction of a new stadium with a capacity of 100,000 places has been announced. Sporting, the 72 -year -old Briton also decided to separate during the season from the Dutch Erik Ten Hag to replace him with the Portuguese Ruben Amorim.
United is a big family but since Ratcliffe is there, it's just the opposite
“Since the arrival of (Jim) Ratcliffe, the new owners want to destroy everything and do not respect anyone“, I estimated Eric Cantona.”Manchester United is a big family but since Ratcliffe has been there, it's quite the opposite. He no longer wants Sir Alex Ferguson as ambassador“, He commented again, in reference to the former legendary manager of the Red Devils.
The Frenchman also said he regretted the announcement of a change of stadium, which will change the soul of the club. “”I do not think that United can play in another stadium thanold Trafford“, He said. Manchester United is in sporting trouble this season with a sad 13th place in the Premier League. The Manchester club can still hope to win a European qualification if he wins the Europa League, from which he is playing the quarter-final go this Thursday in Lyon.
Eric Cantona, 58, played from 1992 to 1997 in Manchester United, a golden period during which he notably won four titles of champion of England with the Red Devils.
