Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole is unsure how much say Sir Jim Ratcliffe can have with only a 25 per cent stake in the club.
After Sheikh Jassim’s withdrawal from the takeover process, British billionaire Ratcliffe looks set to confirm a deal to buy 25 per cent of the club from the Glazer family.But ex-Man Utd and Newcastle striker Cole doubts many Red Devils fans will be “excited” by the prospect of Ratcliffe taking 25 per cent ownership of the club.: “I’ve not given it much thought to be honest because everybody was expecting the club to be sold in its entirety.
“Manchester United need to be competing at a higher level than they are doing currently, so does a 25% share mean that they’re going to go back to the very top? I’m not quite sure that it does.”and Cole reckons the Dane is the “proper old-fashioned centre-forward” Man Utd have been missing “for a while”.
“He’s a young man that’s fearless, which is something he should be at his age, energetic and physical. I think he’s a proper old-fashioned centre-forward and he works extremely hard. I think that a striker of his ilk is something that Manchester United have missed for a while and he always wants to go both ways and run in behind at a furious pace. He also enjoys a tussle with opposing centre-backs too.
