Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to take guidance from Sir Alex Ferguson as he prepares to undertake a radical overhaul of Manchester United.

According to The Telegraph, it is understood that former AC Milan pair Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are candidates to be part of Ratcliffe's team, with Maldini being labelled as a contender for the role of the Red Devils' sporting director.
Maldini and Massara were sacked by AC Milan a few months ago after reportedly falling out with owner Gerry Cardinale. Maldini, in particular, played a key role in Milan's signing of England international defender Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea.
United have been in decline since Ferguson's retirement, and using his expertise would certainly be a popular move by Ratcliffe with the club's fans, who still worship the multiple-trophy winner.
