RIO FERDINAND has told Sir Jim Ratcliffe to reveal his grand plans for Manchester United or risk more dressing-room turmoil., 44, declared: “We’ve not had it explained what 25 per cent looks like from a business standpoint, to appease the anxiety.“If Mr Ratcliffe is coming in and wants to hit the ground running, show some signs of influence.

“If you can control the hype, you have a better chance of keeping the dressing room tightknit and emotions to a level to perform.There is a proposal of a new United football committee, which could include Sir Jim’s INEOS colleague Sir Dave Brailsford.

The ongoing uncertainty over the drawn-out takeover — the Glazers put United up for sale in November last year — has coincided with the team’s poor start to the season. Ten Hag’s side are eighth in the Premier League and already eight points behind leaders Tottenham after just nine games.Ferdinand added: “When stability isn’t there underneath, that’s when you need to come to the front as an owner and say how it is. It puts everyone at ease.

“That’s not going to right everything, just by communicating but it goes a long way and squashes a few of those loud voices.”Gill, now 66, was in the job from 2003-13, overseeing great success under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferdinand, who won six Prem titles, the Champions League and three EFL Cups at United between 2002-14, said: “In my time, David Gill left us in no uncertain terms about the direction of the club and a clear, ‘This is the project’.“If there were any issues, you went to see him. Plain and simple. I don’t know if that’s going on at the club now.
