Paul Scholes sends brutal warning to Jim Ratcliffe and new Manchester United hierarchy. Manchester United's new administration, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have hopes to return the club to their historic heights, but Paul Scholes has questioned their qualifications. Manchester United's new management has been warned by Paul Scholes that the Premier League club is a "different animal". Sir Jim Ratcliffe has become the owner at Old Trafford, bringing with him Formula One winning expertise. The British billionaire has previously led a football club, with French club Nice also on his sports portfolio, but returning United to the top of English football is a massive undertaking.
He's brought in some trusty lieutenants, such Sir Dave Brailsford and Omar Berrada. Brailsford has yet to work in football, but Berrada was a key member of Manchester City's massively successful squad until leaving in the summer. Scholes is adamant that his former club hire the best possible people and is unconvinced by the CVs of those now making choices in Manchester. He stated: "Manchester United should always have the best players available to fill any position. They have recruited people with experience, but not from a team like Manchester United. It's different from anywhere else. Okay, (chief executive) Omar Berrada was at City, (technical director) Jason Wilcox was at Southampton, and (sporting)
"What has Sir Dave Brailsford done to be successful in football so far?" I am not sure. He was involved with Sir Jim Ratcliffe in Nice, but I'm not sure what happened. It's a different animal dealing with Manchester United. Every day, every minute of the day, you are the center of attention." Ratcliffe pursued Ashworth, who had previously impressed at Brighton and then Newcastle. The Magpies dug their heels in, determined to keep their sporting director. United eventually won the battle, and he has started work at Old Trafford.
Ashworth has been instrumental in recruitment at his former clubs, but Scholes has noted the benefits he has received elsewhere. The sporting director has helped find gems at clubs such as Brighton, but Manchester will need to acquire players who can hit the ground running.
