Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe has warned that the Premier League is in danger of ruining its own competition amid ongoing controversy over its financial rules.

In an interview with Bloomberg, the British billionaire businessman said: “We’ve got more accountants than we’ve got sporting people at Manchester United. If you’re not careful, the Premier League is going to finish up spending more time in court than it is thinking about what’s good for the league.”
