Man Utd Fans Are Desperate

--:--
After months of back and forth and major uncertainty, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has won his bid to purchase 25% of Manchester United and become a minority stakeholder. Ratcliffe was in a bidding war with Qatari businessman, Sheik Jassim. Rumour has it, is that a few of the Glazer brothers did not want to sell. This decision has caused frustration amongst the United faithful, with many suggesting being state-owned by an Arabic country is a far better boat to be in, than Ratcliffe's proposal.

The Red Devils have been in fine form in recent weeks, having won their last 3 matches in all competitions, with a surprising boost of performance from former captain Harry Maguire. The club is not only desperate for silverware, and perhaps better management from up top, but in the simplest of terms, the team is desperate to win games, and the fans share this sentiment. Erik ten Hag and co will face a tough opponent this coming weekend, which sees the blue half of Manchester travel to Old Trafford, in what is perhaps the biggest sporting matchup in the world.

On the latest episode of the Fan Reaction Show, former Mamelodi Sundowns and Sheffield Wednesday goal is joined by Soccer Laduma International journalists Kurt Buckerfield and Kamogelo Motecwane to chat about the upcoming Balon d'Or ceremony which sees Lionel Messi arriving as the favourite. The gents discuss Sir Jim Ratcliffe's stake in Manchester United and go down memory lane for Seeking the Socials!
