The Liverpool FC icon, who has previously spoken to Ratcliffe, is clear on which area at Man United needs most attention.
The INEOS chief is set to assume sporting control of the club when his £1.3billion investment in 25 per cent of the club goes through as expected. Souness said he met Ratcliffe four years ago when he had earmarked an interest in Chelsea.
Souness says the Glazers have messed up when it comes to recruitment in the years after Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement and admitted he hasn’t been convinced by several signings made by Erik ten Hag. “This is the most important thing you have to get right at any club. Man United, since Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill left in 2013, have given a masterclass in how not to do it, and they’ve spent over £1billion in the process.”
