Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and new club director Sir Jim Ratcliffe are facing an awkward first meeting.

Ratcliffe criticised Fernandes in his recent book, 'Grit, Rigour & Humour – The INEOS Story'.

In the first chapter, Ratcliffe recalled a trip to the Cook Islands where he witnessed a rugby player being 'carted off in the back of a pick-up with a broken leg'.

Praising his courage, the INEOS chief took a swipe at Fernandes.

He wrote that his behaviour was “a far cry from Bruno Fernandes clutching his untouched face in the Liverpool debacle recently".
