Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has warned Manchester United regarding their new investor.

Jordan, who is now a talkSPORT pundit, spoke about the investment of Sir Jim Ratcliffe in the Old Trafford club.

The British billionaire and INEOS chief is set to buy 25 percent of the Glazer family's shares in United for 1.3 billion.

Speaking on talkSPORT on Tuesday, Jordan said: With all due respect to his remarkable successes in business, there is the thing called the INEOS curse, about businesses in sport that he's been involved in.

Whether it's the Sky Cycling Team, whether it's the decline in the All Blacks, whether it was Ben Ainslie and one of the worst performances in the Americas Cup, whether it's his investment in Nice that has produced no particular outcome...

So, when you actually look at what he's done in sport, every time INEOS has gone anywhere near anything, it's actually gone the other way."
