Cardiff City midfielder Aaron Ramsey, formerly of Nice, part of INEOS' multi-club network, made the prediction after spending time with figures at the top of the company - but he also warned they will need time to bring about success. Ratcliffe, a boyhood United supporter, completed a deal to buy a 27 per cent stake at Old Trafford in February and his hefty investment totalled around £1. 25billion.   However, he has since stirred controversy after a string of unpopular decisions. As part of a major cost-cutting exercise, around 250 jobs have been slashed while legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson saw his £2million-a-year ripped up. But Ramsey is confident that INEOS' ruthless methods will eventually pay off.
