Ratcliffe was previously criticised for moving the women’s team out of their training facility to accommodate more men.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has stated in a recent interview that the Man United men’s team ‘make £800m’ whilst the women’s team ‘cost £10million’.
Speaking to The Times, Ratcliffe spoke on his initial lifelong ambition to take part-ownership of the club and the Glazers:
“At the end of the day, in my view, the key thing is to just have a good relationship with the other owners, which are the Glazer family — the six siblings.
“You know, they’re really good people. And they are passionate about the club. The key is not the legal agreements.
“The key is that we have common objectives, which are to see Manchester United be successful, and that we trust each other.”
Controlling day-to-day management of the club, Ratcliffe then spoke on the women’s team:
“The men’s team make £800 million, the women’s team cost £10 million.”
An Ineos spokesperson after stated:
“We’ve invested £10 million in the women’s facility and they will be back as soon as the £50 million revamp of Carrington is complete.”
The women’s team were formerly moved out of the training building at Carrington in order to accommodate more men, causing mass criticism online.
The Guardian previously reported that the women’s team would be moved into portable buildings at the club’s Carrington training complex.
