As revealed by The Athletic, early last week, Sir Jim Ratcliffe made a comprehensive survey of MU ‘s facilities , including Old Trafford Stadium and Carrington training area. The 71-year-old billionaire clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the disorder and lack of order in some areas he had the opportunity to visit.
Then, on Friday afternoon, Sir Jim sent an Email to all staff working at the club. In the email, he angrily commented that “the state of the facilities at MU is a disgrace, especially the IT room, and the changing areas of the U18 and U21 teams are not much better.”
“What is present here does not reflect the culture and position of the club. Imagine if we had groups of visitors, parents of young players or the media come here and witness Seeing these images, they will think that we have not worked seriously to preserve the good image of the team.”
The British billionaire even warned that MU needs to “improve its working culture”, and if anyone cannot meet the standards, they will “have Christmas early” (be fired).
In the past, when conducting a controversial interview program with journalist Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo also complained about the infrastructure at Old Trafford being too degraded and unsanitary.
Although he left a bad impression after parting ways with MU, it seems that CR7’s reflections on the club’s infrastructure and working environment are completely accurate, when at the present time, it is Sir Jim Ratcliffe also got angry when he witnessed the scene at Old Trafford.
