CNN —Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has welcomed British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe’s investment into the club, saying that the new co-owner can restore the European powerhouse to its glory years.
Yorke concedes, however, that for the time being the Red Devils will not be able to compete for the English Premier League title.
Yorke would go on to win a further two Premier Leagues with the Red Devils before leaving the club in the summer of 2002.
“We really should be in the [Premier League] top four relatively comfortably, and it hasn’t been that easy a ride for us.
“I think Alan Shearer is still the current [record] holder in the Premier League and was a real goal machine.
