McClaren: Ratcliffe and Brailsford can get Man Utd back on top

Manchester United first-team coach Steve McClaren is confident the club will find their feet again.

The Red Devils are eighth in the Premier League and could miss out on all European football for next term.

While McClaren cannot promise an instant turnaround, he does believe the good times are not too far away.

He told BBC Sport: "Arsenal are back after being down and Man United will do the same. We have had many storms. I see tremendous plusses from Ineos coming in and what they are trying to do. It is identifying the standards and getting back to them.

“At certain times since I have come back over the last two years, we have had those standards. We have also had standards that have not been United.

“Speaking to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, speaking to Sir Dave Brailsford, they are getting the best people in. They want this to succeed. They have done that in their other sports and businesses. I am positive they will do it again with Manchester United."
