'Sir Jim has only been negative for United'

PAUL SCHOLES has slammed Sir Jim Ratcliffe and claimed he has done nothing positive since taking over at Manchester United.

Co-owner Ratcliffe and his INEOS team have presided over a series of calamitous and controversial decisions since buying a stake in the club last February.

United are 13th in the Premier League, with Scholes furious at the calls the hierarchy have made on and off the pitch.

From keeping head coach Erik ten Hag in the summer, only to fire him 14 games into the new season, to sacking 250 staff and raising minimum ticket prices to £66, the United legend claimed Ratcliffe and his team have been a disaster.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes said: "They have been in charge for nearly a year now and everything is still negative.

"I can't think of something positive that they've done for the football club.
