Mourinho tips Ratcliffe to get giants back on track

UNITED ARE FINALLY IN SAFE HANDS

JOSE MOURINHO believes Manchester United are finally back on the right path under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Mourinho was sacked as United manager in December 2018 but still looks back with pride on his two-and-a-half years in charge.

He praised former United chief executives Ed Woodward and Richard Arnold as individuals but said they both lacked football experience.

But Mourinho knows British billionaire Ratcliffe, who is buying a 25 percent stake in the club, and is convinced he will turn things around.

Mourinho, talking to Rio Ferdinand's VIBE with FIVE podcast, said: "I know Jim Ratcliffe well. We had good relations from years ago.

"He's also a sports man, he loves it, which is a very important thing, and comes with experience from other sports, cycling. I have a good feeling that things can go in the right direction and I hope so.
