Emmanuel Petit has questioned Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision-making at Nice as the INEOS owner continues his pursuit of taking over at Manchester United.
Ratcliffe, 70, is amongst the favourites to become the next United owner alongside Qatar businessman Sheikh Jassim. The latter lodged a fourth bid of around £5.5billion earlier this week after Ratcliffe reportedly placed a higher offer, but Jassim has concerns that the Glazer family might not sell at all.
Nevertheless, Ratcliffe has emerged as a frontrunner to take over at the Red Devils should the Glazers decide to cash - but ex-Arsenal midfielder Petit has concerns. He has criticised Ratcliffe's plan at Nice and how the club is run both on and off the pitch in Ligue 1.
