Thomas Zilliacus is happy seeing Sir Jim Ratcliffe buy into Manchester United.

The Finn initially competed with Ratcliffe for control of United before the latter's 25 per cent shareholding offer was accepted by the Glazers.

I welcome very much the fact that Jim Ratcliffe is running the footballing side because he's a passionate Manchester United fan and knows football," he told the Manchester Evening News.

"I think it's very positive.

"I'm very impressed by the fact that, with the vast business interest that he has, he seems to be spending very serious time on the clock... that of course is very positive for the club."
