Sir Jim Ratcliffe Interview: Amorim, Ten...

The Overlap
About this episode

Get set for our huge interview with Sir Jim Ratcliffe on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet.


Gary Neville is joined by Sir Jim for an uncompromising discussion about new manager Ruben Amorim, big decisions, the club’s finances, and what’s next for United.


Ratcliffe reflects on his first year at United, including replacing Erik ten Hag with Amorim, despite an FA Cup triumph. The pair also get into the club’s financial struggles, including a bloated wage bill, and the steps being taken to try and take United back to the top.


The conversation also lifts the lid on Dan Ashworth’s departure, what really happened behind the scenes, and how it has impacted United’s transfer plans heading into a crucial second half of the Premier League season.


Looking ahead, Gary and Sir Jim discuss the future of Old Trafford, the club’s long-term vision, and reasons for optimism for United fans after a below-par campaign. You don't want to miss this one!
