FIXING 'BROKEN' UNITED IS A RED DEVIL OF A JOB

Rio: Ineos need to repair structure of the club. Ten Hag can’t do it on his own

RIO FERDINAND insists Erik ten Hag cannot fix all of Manchester United’s problems on his own. 

And Ferdinand has told new joint-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe he needs to repair United’s broken foundations – if the fallen giants are to get back to the top of football again.

Ratcliffe and his INEOS Group have bought a 25 percent stake in United for £1.3billion – and will be in charge of the club’s football operations.

But Ferdinand reckons Ratcliffe’s job will involve much more than just signing better players and that the whole structure of the club needs looking at.

Ferdinand, who won 14 trophies with United between 2002 and 2014, said: “What we’re finding now is that it’s not one thing that’s going to fix this.
