Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has criticised prospective Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's regime at Ligue 1 outfit Nice.
The Failsworth-born billionaire, who owns petrochemical firm INEOS, purchased the French side in 2019 although his time at the club has been something of a mixed bag. Petit's former teammate Patrick Vieira departed the club as manager just over a year after Sir Jim's arrival, with Christophe Galtier appointed as his replacement.
But after leading the club to fifth in Ligue 1 and a Coupe de France final, he was subsequently snapped up by European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain. That led to the appointment of former Borussia Dortmund boss Lucien Favre last summer, although he was sacked by the club in January with a permanent replacement yet to be installed.
