Murray says that United's current approach is dysfunctional. He is worried about the impact of Ratcliffe's decisions, particularly the high salary paid to new player Casemiro and the layoffs of staff members. Murray believes that this approach is unsustainable and may harm the club's reputation.
Murray compares Manchester United to his own former club, Rangers. He emphasizes the importance of the people who work behind the scenes at a football club, saying that they are the heart and soul of the team. He urges Ratcliffe to be mindful of the club's traditions and values as he makes key decisions.
Murray hopes that Ratcliffe will find a balance between financial prudence and the need to preserve the club's identity. He warns that if Ratcliffe fails to do so, he risks losing the support of fans and damaging the club's reputation.
Murray believes that Manchester United is more than just a business; it is a community that is built on the contributions of many people. He urges Ratcliffe to remember this and to prioritize the well-being of the club's staff and fans.
