SIR JIM RATCLIFFE’S Manchester United revolution is underway – and he is set to make sweeping changes at the club.
Britain’s richest man completed a long-running acquisition of shares in the Red Devils on Sunday.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has finally bought shares in Manchester United
Erik ten Hag’s future is unclear after Ratcliffe took over
Many struggling stars are also at risk of being deported
The billionaire now owns 25% of the club, which has struggled under Glazers ownership for several years.
We understand Ratcliffe will make changes to the club’s structure and are planning to sack manager Erik ten Hag.
And he is set to drastically overhaul the Dutchman’s underperforming squad.
SEVEN giant players are in Ratcliffe’s sights and he is ready to take on stars with bleak futures at Old Trafford.
Jadon Sancho
The England international has been left out of the first team since facing Ten Hag following United’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in September.
Sancho has refused to apologize for criticism of his manager, which is likely to be seen as problematic by Ratcliffe.
Casemiro
The five-time Champions League winner looks like a player who led Real Madrid’s midfield for many years.
The Brazilian has dropped significantly this season, so much so that fans have called for teenager Kobbie Mainoo to replace him.
Casemiro’s salary is among the highest in the squad, so – coupled with his poor performance – makes him a strong candidate for the axe.
Anthony
Manchester United’s second most expensive signing has truly failed to repay Ten Hag for his costly show of faith in him.
The Brazilian – who cost the club a staggering £85million – scored just eight goals and provided three assists in 18 months at the Theater of Dreams.
His poor form – coupled with his disappointing style and wages – will almost certainly put him at risk of being sold.
Raphael Varane
Four-time World Cup and Champions League winner Varane is also at risk of being cut loose following a rift with Ten Hag, which the Dutchman has denied.
The Frenchman is said to be unhappy with the current situation and is considering his future at the club, who may choose to cut his losses and let his big-money contract expire in the summer next.
Victor Lindelof
Another centre-back likely to leave in June is Victor Lindelof, who has never featured in a big moment for United since joining from Benfica in 2017.
The 29-year-old Swede is now his country’s captain but only injuries to players like Varane have allowed him to earn minutes under Ten Hag and the exit door is looming, as The Red Devils could look to cash in in January.
Martial
According to German newspaper Bild, Man Utd has agreed to liquidate Anthony Martial next January. The Red Devils only want to collect between 8 and 10 million pounds from the French player.
Currently, many teams in Serie A and Ligue 1 are interested in the 1995 generation. Man Utd is also asking to borrow Timo Werner from RB Leipzig to upgrade. In attack, Red Man accepts a buyout clause if he plays well.
