Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently completed a takeover of United in February and is aiming to instigate significant changes during the off-season. With the help of INEOS’ head of sport, Sir Dave Brailsford, Ratcliffe is working on implementing his vision to revitalize the club. Their plan includes restructuring the playing squad, potentially with a new manager, amid speculation about Erik ten Hag’s future.

Consequently, United is expected to focus on offloading unwanted players in the upcoming transfer window, with Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane among those set to depart. Looking ahead, the club’s main priorities for the summer transfer window are signing a centre-back and a centre-forward. A significant component of the club’s strategy involves shifting the focus to revamping the playing squad, possibly under the management of a new leader.

Additionally, deals are in place for the departure of certain players, while the club is also looking to make strategic acquisitions in key positions. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford are at the forefront of bringing about these changes and reshaping the club’s direction for the future.
