Sir Jim Ratcliffe 'unhappy' with recent news leaks at Manchester United

The Red Devils are struggling for Champions League qualification

According to sources, Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been enraged by the leaks that have been coming out of the Premier League team in recent months.

Erik ten Hag’s team finished last in their Champions League group and was eliminated from Europe, thus the Red Devils have had a forgettable start to the season. With six games left in the Premier League, they are presently sixth.

Manchester United have now only won once in seven Premier League games after bouncing back twice to tie 2-2 with Bournemouth on Saturday.

Man Utd’s chances of making it into the Champions League through the Premier League are now gone, but they still have an FA Cup semi-final against Championship team Coventry City to look forward to this weekend.

This season, there have been sporadic reports of dissatisfaction within the camp, with the Jadon Sancho story being the most well-known of them all. There have also been instances of poor discipline.Alejandro Garncho was substituted against the Cherries at halftime, and Ten Hag is believed to have “dealt with” him after the Manchester United winger liked two social media postings from a well-known YouTuber condemning Ten Hag’s changes against Bournemouth.

And now HITC journalist Graeme Bailey has revealed that Ratcliffe has been angered by the leaks and indiscipline amongst the Man Utd playing staff this campaign.

HITC has been told that one aspect of the club that Ratcliffe is ‘angry’ about is the constant leaks emerging from the club, and also the use of social media to criticise the club.

The club saw Jadon Sancho move on after he took to social media to vent at Ten Hag, whilst only this weekend Argentine starlet Alejandro Garnacho liked tweets criticising the Dutchman – after he was substituted during the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth.

Ten Hag has already spoken with Garnacho about his use of social media, as United insists the situation is resolved – but the club’s hierarchy, including Ratcliffe, is not amused.

‘Ratcliffe will not get personally involved in club discipline, but he has already made it known that he backed Ten Hag over the Sancho situation and going forward he will not put up with further indiscipline at any level of the club with particular focus on the players.’
