Manchester United investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe met with Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) members this week.
Ratcliffe has been starting his work at United, given his INEOS group now has complete sporting control at the club.
The British billionaire spoke with supporters from MUST and the club's Fans' Advisory Board to outline his plans after making a 1.25billion investment in the club.
"His main message was that everything at United needs to be ruthlessly focussed on creating winning teams on the field something we are sure all fans will agree on," MUST stated afterwards.
"He also expressed the view that he views our club as a 'community asset' and stressed that his purpose in taking a share in United is not to make money.
"We were able to set out to Sir Jim what we think the key priorities are a clear plan to get back to the top, putting in place a football structure with the right people in the right roles; an investment plan in both the teams and the stadium; and building a genuine and strong partnership with fans that supports success.
"We hope today's discussion is the start of an ongoing dialogue both with Sir Jim and his team. We all know the journey back for our Club is not a short one and the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
"But most fans agree that the signals INEOS has sent in the last few weeks are encouraging. Continuing that dialogue on your behalf, to promote supporters interests, is number one priority for MUST in the months and years ahead."
